Short getaway from Singapore

For a small place like SG, one can go for short trips to places like Batam, Bintan, Desaru, Kukup, Pulau Ubin, St John island and Johor Baru. Who says you can't spend 3 to 5 days using SG as the base to tour around?

This indirectly expand the tourism market of Singapore which is also 1-1.5 hrs flight away from places like Melaka, Penang, Kuching, Kuala Lumpur, Medan, Langkawi, Ipoh, Jakarta, and Ho Chi Minh City. How many people are in this urban centers? Roughly 35 million people.

Further on one could fly to Bangkok, Bali/ Lombok, Kota Kinabalu, Miri, Brunei, Phuket, Danang, Bandung, Siem Reap and Surabaya which are further away but serve as a nearby regional getaway.
