Malaysia + Singapore or separate trips to both?
I'm thinking of going to one or both countries in Jan-March 2027, flying from west side of Canada. This would likely require 1 or most likely 2 layovers, total days of 14, but this includes travel days. So actual travel time is likely 12 days accounting for jet lag and time zone lost. Am thinking of going with a friend. We are debating is it worth going on two separate trips for both? I am wanting a slow travel pace, a day that is not necessarily jam packed. If malaysia only, it would be kuala lumpur, malacca for 3 days 2 nights, and george town. If malaysia and singapore, it would replace malacca with singapore. If singapore only, I was thinking 6-7 days in the city, excluding the travel days lost. So this could be like a 9-10 trip but only singapore. For those who have been to one or both places, based on what I listed, would you bundle both in one trip since singapore is so close to malaysia, or split them up?
