My guess is that they are trying very hard to stem the flow of sources of help and finance ; to negatigate and settle down the southern militancy ; since malaysia is already next door, they do not want to encounter another source from the indonesians side. They can only fight one at a time.
They knew that most indonesians could just ferry themselves into peninsula malaysia by flimsy boats without much hassle; and crossed into their border easily.
Just to be non-partisan and for nice asean political diplomancy, the singapore tourists have to be the fall guys. Those rich guys can come by air ; no problem .....
