Malaysia in Singapore refers to citizens of Malaysia or Singaporean citizens of Malaysia origin residing in Singapore. According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the community had a population of 1,132,924 in 2020, making them the world's largest Malaysia diaspora community.[1] The community is also the largest foreign community in Singapore, constituting 44% of the country's foreign-born population[2][3] and an additional 350,000 Malaysia cross the Johor–Singapore Causeway daily for work and school in the city-state.[4]
Many Malaysia in Singapore are usually expatriates, working in various industries of the Singapore economy since its rapid industrialisation in the 1970s.[5][6] Malaysia and Singapore sharing similar historical and cultural roots and as well as cross-border familial ties, are some of the reasons for the huge community of Malaysians in the country.[7][8][9] Other reasons include the country's proximity to Malaysia[10] and the high exchange rate of the Singapore dollar over the Malaysia ringgit.[11] GENERAL WORKER MALAYSIA 930331-02-6063
