But the once strong cultural unity of the region with Riau in the heart of it never returned, and the line drawn by the British in 1819 remained, this time marking the divide between three new countries as of 1965: Singapore, the Malaysian federation in the north, and Indonesia in the South.
It is those new countries, however, which created back unity in the Riau world for the first time after 150 years with the creation of the Sijori Growth Triangle.
But while bringing back some economical wealth to Riau, the Sijori Growth Triangle somewhat further broke the cultural unity within the islands.

 Bintan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Due to its limited size, Singapore initiated the Sijori Growth Triangle and signed agreements with the Indonesian governments to invest heavily in Batam and Bintan.
The once wild and deserted Batam island became an industrial "hinterland" for Singapore and a special investment zone for world industrial companies, also attracting thousands of workers from the entire country.
Singapore's current status as the regional trading center and its political influence in the region, and particularly in the heart of the Sijori Growth Triangle is actually pretty close to what Bintan was a few centuries ago.

 Batam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The island is located about 20 kilometres south of Singapore, a 1 hour ferry ride away.
Once a wild island covered with jungle and inhabited by a few Orang Laut tribes, Batam changed in the 1960s when the Indonesian government made it a special development zone, later part of the Sijori Growth Triangle, enjoying free trade zone status.
In the last 40 years, jungle disappeared and Batam turned into a strong industrial centre, with population increasing from a few thousands in the early 1960s to 800,000 today.

The next growth area developed within the framework of ASEAN economic cooperation is the East ASEAN Growth Area comprising Brunei Darussalam, and parts of Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, better known as BIMP-EAGA.
In all the growth areas, the resources of the participating regions complement one another, enabling manufacturing firms to achieve vertical integration in their operations as well as economies of scale.
Although the ASEAN growth areas already boast considerable achievements and tremendous promise, they represent such a new concept that they are still saddled with a number of political, economic and social constraints.

Even now, when the Triangle is no longer aggressively promoted by local governments, accounts of the region's complementarities have continued to circulate, and it is easy to find articles and policy papers addressing their relevance as a model to places as different and as far away as, for example, the Gulf of Finland (Kivikari, 2001).
The Triangle, and the form of regional spatial fix it represents, needs therefore to be understood within the complex power geometries of dislocation, disempowerment, enablement and confinement that comprise the myriad human geographies of the region.
In 1988, as the prospect of the Triangle was being formulated, this inflow increased dramatically by 200% (Parsonage 1992: 309).
