The Brits also had a large military presence in Singapore for years until the 1970's when they finally left. There are thousands of service members and their dependents who have very fond memories of their time in Singapore and travel back on vacation to rekindle old memories. Quite a few of them married local women and have blood ties to the country.
There's also a strong tradition going back generations amongst some Singaporeans to have a British education starting with boarding school and continuing onto university. Quite a few Singaporeans are alumni of British schools and have an academic affinity with the UK.
Our PM studied in UK university..University of Cambridge, but i want to add he went to Havard for a Master of Public Administration... LOL
I don't think there is any connection between Briton today and Singapore, I never hear of Singapore in the media and couldn't tell you one famous Singaporian (in fact I don't even know if 'Singaporian' is correct lol), Im no expert but I imagine that the closest (and I don't just mean in distance) 'Anglo' nation to Singapore these days would be Australia?
I am from Singapore and was thinking about this question.. After independence from British rule for a few decades, what ties still bind UK and Singapore together ?
Other than personal relationships and diplomatic ties, I don't think there are much more than that.

A long history of British government and a shared language, English is still widely spoken in Singapore.
Yea I didn't think much would be shown. I don't see Singapore as like the UK at all.
