In Singapore, the number of Malaysians becoming citizens had been on an upward trend between 2004 and 2008.
There was a dip in 2009 for a spell and an increase in 2012. That year, 20,693 citizenships were awarded to new residents.
The dip in 2009 was "mirrored in the annual uptake of permanent residency, which more than doubled from 36,900 in 2004 to 79,167 in 2008 but suffered a decrease to 59,460 in 2009.
Population statistics as at December 2011 put the number of people in the republic at 3.81 million, of whom 3.27 are citizens and 0.54 million permanent residents.
"Sharper declines were recorded for both citizenship and permanent residency in 2010, ahead of the May 2011 general election,” according to data available at the Migration Policy Institute.
The country also had a non-resident population of 1.46 million who are working, studying or living in Singapore on a non-permanent basis.
