Malaysia’s rise over Thailand as a preferred year-end getaway makes sense — it offers a mix of affordability, diverse culture, great food, and easy accessibility from Singapore without the crowd surge Thailand often sees. Personally, I’d choose Malaysia for its balance of convenience and authentic charm, though Vietnam and Indonesia are catching up fast for adventure and scenery. Singapore still ranks among the world’s top destinations for its cleanliness, safety, and efficiency, but when it comes to unwinding, I’d trade its city precision for the laid-back, flavorful vacation vibe found across Southeast Asia’s beaches, night markets, and warm hospitality.

It woould be booming in a year or so 

🇲🇾 Malaysia is the top tourist destination in ASEAN with good reasons. Visa relaxations, diverse tourist attractions, the government’s strong promotion, good infrastructure, and its multiracial cultural appeal, just to name a few. It is always a “Yes!” for Malaysian food anytime. I would like to buy $Genting Sing(G13.SI)$ and visit Genting Highlands anytime. Earn big money and play hard! To the moon with $Genting Sing(G13.SI)$ [Happy][Happy][Happy] Thanks @Tiger_SG @TigerStars

I just came back from vietnam... very good genting highland is my yearly getaway place

Malaysia where is more diverse 

Malaysia is better as no need to fly. Just drive and enjoy road trip. Feel free to go anywhere and enjoy food, culture and scenery. [Cool]

For me, Malaysia overtakes Thailand one of the reasons is the safety of travellers.  Thailand no doubt is the best place for food and nightlife but the security is a bit poor if compared to Malaysia. I will choose Malaysia for a short getaway or vacation with family because it is near and the expenses are cheap compared to other countries. But if I have to choose between all Asia countries, Japan will always be my 1st choice (if no need to worries about budget [LOL])

I prefer Penang, Malaysia for its vibrant and delicious food, as well as its historical architecture, natural attractions like beaches and rainforests, and unique street art.

No way... with how the Ringgit is surging, better to find another destination to kick back. I actually think going to somewhere in Thailand that isn't Bangkok would be nice, Chiangmai and Chiangrai maybe?

Malaysia edging past Thailand is logical: RM is cheaper, land access is convenient, and domestic/regional flows are strong. Thailand is still iconic, but more dependent on long-haul sentiment. Singapore stays top-10 because of safety, quality, infrastructure and strong airport/urban services. It is a premium “hub city”, not a resort playground. Personally, SG is great for short, efficient, high-quality city time. But for real vacation vibes — beaches, nature, slower pace — Malaysia / Vietnam / Indonesia offer better value and more “holiday per dollar”. So: SG for comfort & convenience; SEA region for actual holiday mode.

Going Malaysia is easy and affordable, especially enjoy just day trips to Johor Bahru.

The convenience and exchange rates will pull more Singaporeans to Malaysia. We can get into Malaysia by flight, self-drive, bus and train etc. Although we do travel to other Asia countries, Malaysia is still the most convenient. $Genting Sing(G13.SI)$ .

Malaysia is good but it's culture is too similar to Singapore. I would prefer somewhere more exotic, like Yunnan in China.

Used to go Japan for snowboarding. Now got baby and budget so maybe go Bangkok or Genting 🥵

Is Hong Kong still a choice 😅

Malaysia

$Malaysia Airports Holdings BHD(MYPRF)$ $Genting Sing(G13.SI)$ Malaysia airlines competes in the south east Asia market with the leader for these destinations $Singapore Airlines Ltd.(SINGF)$ for these destinations, Singapore airlines is the volume leader expanding to new destinations. Trade for Malaysian airlines is a put with lower earnings forecast

Indonesia

of cos go south east Asia countries for holiday. you can get more bang for your buck. make your hard earned money from the stock market work harder. All counties will be good where Sg dollar is stronger.
