Ndiyayithanda idatha yokhenketho ebonelelwa ngamazwe. Kwaye ndiyayithanda kakhulu idatha xa bekwazi ukuxelela nantoni na ongathanda ukuyibonisa. Phakathi kwamanani angaqhelekanga, kukho imfihlakalo ejikeleze abantu baseSingapore abahamba "njengabakhenkethi" ukuya eMalaysia. Ukujonga izibalo ezisemthethweni ezivela kwi-Tourism Malaysia, kwi-2009 ngaphezu kwe-12.7 yezigidi zabakhenkethi beza bevela eSingapore beza eMalaysia. Ukuthatha ingqiqo ngokwahlula inani elipheleleyo labahambi abavela eSingapore ukuya eMalaysia ngabantu beSingapore bebonke, kubonisa ukuba ummi ngamnye waseSingapore wayengumkhenkethi eMalaysia amaxesha angama-2.55 kulo nyaka uphelileyo.

Ukusukela ngo-2000 ukuya kowama-2009, abakhenkethi baseSingapore abatyelela iMalaysia bakhule ngeepesenti ezili-135. Xa sithelekisa nje, ulwando olusuka kwabakhenkethi baseThai ukuya eMalaysia kwangelo xesha linye lwenyuka ngama-54.1 ekhulwini lusuka kwi-0.94 yezigidi lwaya kutsho kwisi-1.45 sezigidi, ngoxa amanani asuka e-Indonesia antinga ngama-341 ekhulwini, ukusuka kwi-0.54 yezigidi ukuya kwi-2.40 yezigidi zabafikayo. Ukutsiba komyinge wase-Indonesia kungenxa yokususwa kwerhafu yemali yokuhamba ukuya kwizixeko ezininzi zaseMalaysia, kunye nokuphindaphindwa kweendleko eziphantsi ngeenqwelomoya phakathi kwamazwe omabini. Ukusebenza kokhenketho lwaseMalaysia kubonakala kunomtsalane ngakumbi xa kuthelekiswa nabamelwane bayo ngeziphumo zabo ezikhwankqisayo. Abahambi baseMalaysia abaya eSingapore bakhule "kuphela" ngeepesenti ze-35 ukusuka kwi-2000 kunye ne-2009, ngelixa abahambi base-Indonesian ukuya eSingapore bakhule ngama-44 ekhulwini. I-Indonesia ibhaliswe ngexesha elifanayo lexesha lokuhla kweepesenti ze-31 kubantu baseSingapore ngokulinganayo ngokukhula kwama-80 ekhulwini abantu baseMalaysia.

Kuya kuba lihlabathi eligqibeleleyo ukuba i-Singapore Immigration kunye neGunya lee-Checkpoints azizange zibonelele ngomfanekiso owahlukileyo ngedatha yazo. Ngowama-2008, iSingapore ICA yabonisa ukuba abantu abazizigidi ezisisi-6.25 baye phesheya kweelwandle ngenqwelomoya nangolwandle, yaye kwiinyanga ezilishumi zowama-2010, eli nani lafikelela kwi-5.36 yezigidi. Ngokuqinisekileyo, akubandakanyi ukuhamba ngezothutho zomhlaba - uloliwe kunye nesithuthi sendlela. Uphononongo oluvela kwi-Euromonitor luqikelela ukuba i-Singaporean yenza i-14.08 yezigidi zokuhamba kumazwe angaphandle kuquka i-9.2 yezigidi ukuya eMalaysia. Isenokwenza umahluko ngenani elibangwe yiMalaysia ngo-2008 (i-11 yezigidi), kwaye i-Euromonitor ibonisa ukuba olu luhambo, kubandakanywa nohambo lwemini.

Namanani malunga neehotele zaseJohor Bahru abonakala ephikisana namanani oKhenketho eMalaysia. Ngaphezu kwama-35 epesenti yabo bonke abantu baseSingapore abaya eMalaysia baneLizwe elingummelwane lase-JB njengendawo abasingwa kuyo. Ngelishwa, ayizisi zizibonelelo ezininzi kwiihotele ze-JB, ezirekhode ngo-2008 umndilili wokuhlala kwabantu abangama-61.6 ekhulwini kunye ne-1.71 yezigidi kuphela zabantu basemzini.

Umahluko kumanani kufanele ukubakhathaza bobabini abasemagunyeni baseSingapore nabaseMalaysia, njengoko ukunyamalala kwabakhenkethi abazizigidi ezibini baseSingapore abawela umda kwenza ukuba unxantathu waseBermuda ubonakale ukhuselekile. I-Singapore Immigration kunye neGunya leeCheckpoints lifuna ukuqinisekiswa. “Sineendlela ezahlukeneyo zokuphendula iintshukumo zabahambi,” wacacisa (ngokunzulu kakhulu) umsebenzi weSebe lezoNxibelelwano.

Ukutsiba okumangalisayo kwabakhenkethi bebonke abafika eMalaysia kunengcaciso, evakala ngathi yintsomi. Kanye ngelo xesha ngo-1998/1999, umphathiswa omtsha wezokhenketho waqeshwa eMalaysia. Ukubonisa inkosi yakhe, iNkulumbuso uGqr. Mahathir, ukuba wayengumlungiseleli osebenzayo, abakhenkethi abafikayo phakathi ko-1998 no-1999 baye batsiba ngama-43.6 ekhulwini nangesinye i-29.1 ekhulwini phakathi ko-1999 no-2000. Kwisithuba seminyaka emibini, inani lilonke abakhenkethi abafikayo kweli lizwe baphantse baphindeka kabini, ukusuka kwi-5.5 yezigidi ukuya kwi-10.2 yezigidi. Ukuziphatha kweli bali kukuba, owayesakuba ngumphathiswa wezokhenketho wayethanda idatha.

INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:

Taking the rational by dividing total number of travelers from Singapore to Malaysia by Singapore total population, it shows that each Singapore inhabitant was a tourist in Malaysia 2.
Indonesia's quantitative jump is due to the removal of the fiscal tax for traveling to most Malaysian cities, as well as the multiplication of low-cost flights between both countries.
The differences in figures should worry both Singapore and Malaysian authorities, as the vanishing of at least two million Singaporean travelers across the border makes the infamous Bermuda Triangle look safe.
