(1) There are mututal benefits for Singapore to work closely economially with Indonesia.

(2) Indonesia has close to 270 million people - with many middle income people - a big market for Singapore.


And Indonesia GDP is about US$1.042 trillion - the largest economy in ASEAN.

(3) Thus by working closely with Indonesia economically - will help to foster trade, business, investment and help to fuel economic growth between Singapore and Indonesia.

(4) By doing so, Singapore can help Indonesia to connect to China BRI sea route - and will help to grow trade activiteis in Singapore ports, Indonesia ports and China ports - and berth at the various port of calls.

(5) With increasing trade, business and investment - more travel will take place between Singapore and Indonesia airports and seaports.


(6) Indonesia will also benefits from Singapore and China BRI sea route - whether traversing through Singapore Straits or through Arctic route - as Indonesia trade can join the BRI sea silk route - going either via routes - and will not miss the mammoth BRI trade routes.

One of the best President Indonesia have now. Yes Singapore a little red Dot and Indonesia a giant working together complementing each others will benefit the region.
Hopefully, Malaysia will too, we should working together for a better future for our region instead of throat cutting.
Small has its advantages, and big has its disadvantages 2, together we can be bigger. Our vision must be the bigger world, and not just 2 countries.
The sky is the limit when we work together while respecting each other differences.

“On Tuesday afternoon prior to the interview, CNA accompanied Mr Widodo on one of his signature spontaneous walkabouts, or "blusukan", which allows him to witness situations at a grassroots level and interact with people.”
That’s what leader of the people do. Ours simply hide in their ivory towers and spew out useless statements.

Something i had suggested a few years ago that Singapore must be brave and start forging joint-venture business alliances with Indonesia, Philippines, and even with Bangkok corporate wealthy, here in Singapore especially, to create multinational corporations on farming, R&D, tourism, educatuon and more, creating meaningful jobs for our locals. Negotiate JV also with the corporate wealthy of Philuppines as well.

This is what a President should be like, should be doing. Too many Presidents are hiding in an ivory tower, far from the people, and interacts only with noblities that they have no sense of the ground. Indonesia is going to prosper under his leadership.

There will be no space for movement in that ivory tower.

Indonesia is blessed with a good President, Mr Widodo. He is something a bit like China "Deng Xiaoping", focused on development instead of Race and Religion. Deng Xiaoping came to Singapore to learn what Singapore has to offer despite Singapore being a little Red dot, Mr Widodo seems to be doing the same. Indonsia will be the next "Tiger" in Asean if subsequent Presidents keep to the same philosophy!

This is the kind of leader Indonesia needs..a leader with a vision for tomorrow. Batam and Bintan are two islands
that could have the potential for economical growth because of the closed proximity with Singapore sharing the same sea water oppositie each other. I wonder why all these years none of the previous presidents were able to see what President Joko Widodo could see now otherwise the two islands could be blooming with growth by now just like our immediate northern neighbour Johore.

This is the kind of neighbour we want.
Kind and friendly. We go into joint ventures like Industrial Park with them and many more. Not selling durians and manufacturing cars. We will always teach the Indonesians whom we find are more friendly and trustworthy. and help them develop. We are not jealous of their progress and prosperity. We would like to see them succeed.
