Singapore and Malaysia have found ways to live and work together since parting 50 years ago.
TODAY, on Aug 9, 2015, Singapore celebrates its 50th National Day. This year is also the 50th anniversary of Singapore-Malaysia bilateral relations, a significant milestone for our ties.
On this day 50 years ago, Singapore and Malaysia decided to go our separate ways. It was a difficult period for both countries.
Many Singaporeans and Malaysians had friends and family on the other side of the Causeway.
