As far as I understand, the free 30 day VOA for Singapore and Malaysian citizens has not changed. However, there is a very large tourist trade of weekend packages sold to non-Singaporean and non-Malaysian citizens out of those countries to Batam - e.g. to expats and also as side-get-aways to tourists to those countries. The impact of cutting the short stay visa out is that the agents will find it difficult to sell those packages.
