The Malaya-Borneo Exhibition was an exhibition of the trade and economic possibilities of British Malaya and British Borneo which was arranged to synchronise with His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales's visit to Singapore in March 1922. Governor Sir Lawrence Guillemard conceived the idea of bringing people together from the Malayan peninsula and Borneo for the purpose of enhancing trade and other mutual benefits.
The Malaya-Borneo Exhibition was a large scale event which was held in April on the site in Robinson Road, Singapore
