Singapore Indonesia
Singapore's relationship with Indonesia, like its
relationship
with Malaysia, was built on a foundation of past discord,
specifically Indonesia's Confrontation campaign against
Malaysia
from 1963 to 1966. After President Sukarno (1945-67) was
deposed,
relations were based to a large degree on Lee Kuan Yew's
personal
relationship with President Soeharto (1967---). Because
bilateral
relations lacked an institutional foundation, they were
vulnerable
to the departure of either leader.
