Foreign territories of Singapore are the plots of land owned by the Republic of Singapore that are geographically distant from the boundaries of the country or are located in other countries. There are currently two pieces of land outside the country which falls under this category and both are found in or near Malaysia. The foreign territories of Singapore do not include diplomatic missions, like embassies and high commissions operated by Singapore in other countries, because contrary to popular belief, diplomatic missions do not exercise full sovereign rights of Singapore but only enjoy certain immunity of local laws. Several other rules and laws of the respective country still apply in these areas and those countries reserve full rights to suspend or expel diplomatic missions of Singapore without compensation.
