What if Malaysia never expelled Singapore and worked everything out with Malaysia in terms of race relations and economic policies? Would Malaysia have full control of the entrance of the Strait of Malacca to the South China Sea? Would it have gained more revenue from tolls there? Would Malaysia's economy be better with Singapore in it because of its revenue from tolls? Having Singapore leave Malaysia is like having Panama leaving Colombia. I believe that Malaysia has made a poor decision in making Singapore leave and could've been a geopolitical and economic advantage in Asia.
