You've never heard of Bugis Street in Singapore? Looks like a credible provenance to me. Even the time frame's correct for a tourist piece with a merlion on it. If they'd sold keris along with the other amenities available there before it was "cleaned up", this might have been a valid "Bugis" design.
All joking aside, this thing probably will confuse collectors sometime in the future.
Alexish, did you have this blade made in Madura like the last one?
