Asia/Pacific Islands Quick Visit Ideas?

I’ll be in Singapore for a few days next month and after that work stuff, would like to check out a new locale while over there. Have about 2-3 days.
Any recommendations on a place or two to quickly hit on the way back to the states.
I’ve already done Thailand and Philippines, so no reason to hit those.
Could honestly be anything on that side of the planet all the way up to Japan, since wouldn’t be much of an addition to travel back time, being I normally connect in SFO.
TIA

Go to Kuala Lumpur if you only have a couple days. The Buddhist and Hundu temples are beautiful, food is great (street food market on jalan ahlor is great, but only gets popping after dark), you can ride to the crosswalk of the Petronas Towers, have an afternoon tea at the Menara KL tower (rotating restaurant 20 stories high)... the National Museum and Istana Negara (the old royal palace) are very nice and give you a great lesson on history and culture of Malaysia if you're into that sort of thing. Take a train about an hours ride north of KL to Batu caves to visit the massive 80 foot high statue of Buddha and see the Buddhist and Hindu shrines that are built inside the cave complex... it's really neat.
KL is pretty compact for a big city and you could literally do everything I mentioned in 3 days no problem, so I would definitely recommend that for a quick stop where you could still see some things you've probably never seen before.

Fiji was wonderful. See what the path is like to the Cook Islands. That could work as well.

Thanks for the suggestions thus far... KP and Nam were two I was looking at.
Was also considering Sydney, being there’s a direct to Houston from there.

Yeah sydney is pretty cool place to visit and 3 days is about perfect for the tourist stuff in town. Bali would be another option. Head up to Ubud for some awesome sites. Volcano is active so be aware travel plans may cancel.
