Singapore became part of Malaysia, then its own state. Priorities changed and there was no place for the Garden in nation­building. With the orchid diplomacy between Singapore and Indonesia in the 1970s, when the ruling families of both nations – the Suhartos and Lees – made amends after a military spat by exchanging fantastic hybrid orchids, the garden was now at the centre of geopolitical manoeuvring.
