Alright, technically the PoD for this would probably have to be in the Anglo-Dutch treaties of the early 19th century, though I suppose a 20th century
PoD could be found, anyways I put it here since I'm curious what the affects would be on 20th and 21st century Singapore.

So, what if Singapore had included most of the Riau archipelago as seen in the below map, how would this alter Singapore's history, would it be more
or less the same, just with some islands, would it be less well off or would Singapore be an even bigger and even wealthier city-state, likely with
massive bridges connecting the islands?

While the demographics would likely be different (regardless of which PoD) as a comparison modern/OTL Singapore has a population of just under
5 million, while these islands have a population of about 1 million.
