How many countries border Singapore?

What countries border Singapore?

Singapore connects to Malaysia by fixed road crossings. As an island, it has no natural overland border; Bordlr counts the causeway connection as one playable neighbor.

Does Singapore have a land border?

Singapore and Malaysia are separated by water. Road traffic crosses at Woodlands and Tuas; Bordlr treats fixed crossings as graph connections, not as a claim that the countries share a continuous landmass. Indonesia is nearby but is not a playable land neighbor.
