SINGAPORE: Malaysia and Singapore on Thursday (Dec 4) inked an additional agreement for the Johor Baru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link, finalising the arrangement for co-located immigration facilities under the project.
The supplementary deal was signed by Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke and Singapore’s Acting Transport Minister and Senior Minister of State for Finance Jeffrey Siow.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his Singapore counterpart, Lawrence Wong, witnessed the event during the 12th Malaysia-Singapore Annual Leaders’ Retreat here.
Earlier, Loke clarified that co-location refers to Malaysian and Singaporean immigration officers operating within the same building or complex, allowing travellers to clear both countries’ immigration checks at a single point.
The RTS Link, connecting Bukit Chagar in Johor Baru and Woodlands North in Singapore, is on track for completion by Dec 31, 2026, with operations set to begin in January 2027.
