The Malaysian CIQ (Customs, Immigration and Quarantine) complex the RTS will link to is directly connected to Johor Bahru Central, the central railway station of the city. There is also work concurrently ongoing to electrify and double track the main railway line within the state of Johor from the state's northern border to JBC (the rest of the line up towards the Thai border was completed a decade ago). When both projects are completed you can practically go from SG to KL and even towards the Thai border on electric trains. It's not the HSL we hoped for but 160kmh is faster than car at least.

As a Singaporean living in Malaysia, I definitely appreciate this video. Though, I personally feel, it's first planned as a heavy rail MRT might suit the RTS better compared to a light rail system. Also to mention, the RTS system was also affected politically, reducing it to a LRT system. The same political instability also lead to HSR's cancellation at the 2nd Link area, which could have greatly benefited both countries.

There used to be heavy rail going all the way to downtown Singapore. This was unfortunately discontinued.... It would have been helpful to reduce the cross border traffic

[@Nelsonwmj]

That was very good from a transport perspective, but HORRIBLE from a national security/military perspective. It was a literal arrow stuck straight into the heart of Singapore at its terminus in Tanjong Pagar because all the land that the rail terminus, its accompanying freight yard, AND the land on which the rail tracks laid on were SOVEREIGN MALAYSIAN TERRITORY. If things got bad between Singapore and Malaysia, Malaysia effectively had a ready-made invasion route right into Singapore by overt or covert means. In 1991 when Malaysia and Indonesia did a military exercise involving amongst other things dropping paratroopers a mere 18km from the Malaysia-Singapore border codenamed PUKUL HABIS, on Singapore's National Day (August 9) no less, the whole Singapore Armed Forces got activated for a general mobilisation. As part of the mobilisation, infantrymen from the Singapore Army were sent to patrol the entire length and perimeter of the land where the railway link and Tanjong Pagar Railway Station sat on, in case there was going to be a real invasion and Malaysia had snuck troops in already by secret. One of the biggest foreign relations achievement done by Singapore was in 2010 when it was finally agreed for Malaysia to cede all the land where their railway and station terminus sat on in Singapore to Singapore, and relocate the terminus for the railway line to end at Woodlands Checkpoint in the north of Singapore directly where the land border with Malaysia over the Causeway is.

[@nicrome]

There’s TEL besides the RTS. Soo that took over that role

[@resourcepal]

@@Nelsonwmj Dude you're over reading this lol. It was Singapore actually who mooted the idea of using the TEL rolling stock, as the capacity of those trains were wider, larger and could hold more then the current system in which they settled for, which is a light-rail similar to that off JRL rolling stock. So the decision was really not from a security stand point, but rather a practical one, as the bend from Jln Tanjung Puteri to Jln Tun Abdul Razak is very tight, and a typical MRT train will not be able to accommodate to such bends. Another point to note is that if the Wadi Hana depot houses the TEL rolling stock, it will seem kinda weird given that both countries as agreed to have an independent railway operator to maintain the RTS infrastructure, so an SMRT rolling stock will go against what was agreed upon. Therefore, with this two reasons, I believe is the main contributing factor as to why TEL train set are not chosen.

not feasible, singapore is really small compared to malaysia. There needs a sort of control/tracking for people and vehicles entering and exiting singapore. There is also a huge price difference in goods from malaysia due to foreign exchange. Without immigration control, people might enter and exit Singapore many times a day smuggling cheaper /tax-free goods or even illegal goods like vapes. People might overstay in Singapore working, from time to time there were foreign workers found camping in the forests and parks in Singapore while they are working.

[@thebfiaid957]

The rts link is similar to the KTM train which already exists, with the difference being the time difference between the trains. KTM has like 2 hour gaps which really suck, while the RTS supposedly would be more of a shuttle. Other than that, I think the introduction of electronic immigration machines for both sides for singaporeans and malaysians makes things much faster. I experienced both manual immigration in the past and now electronic for both sides. I can say, electronic is much faster no matter what, even when the line for electronic is longer than manual.

There is already an existing rail link, but its Singaporean terminus (Woodlands train checkpoint) is not well connected to the MRT (metro) system. This is odd, because Singapore's transit system's usually very well integrated. The answer why lies in the fact that the existing rail link is owned by Malaysia, and Singapore has little to no incentive to integrate a foreign-owned system to its own transit system So they're building a new rail link instead, despite it being somewhat redundant.

It's actually a mutual divorce by the highest echelons of both countries, read the declassified Albatross Files. At that time, 2 days before the separation (7 Aug 1965), the top government officials from both side already signed a formal agreement for the separation in SECRET. Other lower ranking officials, including MPs are not known about this. The discussion for separation even started MONTHS before the actual separation. They done this is because they want to make the separation a fiat accompli so that the British has no time to intervene. It's only 2 days after the agreement (9 Aug 1965), the constitutional amendment for the separation was tabled and passed in the Malaysian Parliament. It's only at this point all government officials, all MPs and the general public from both sides know about this and all of this happened in a single day. Because the constitutional amendments were passed in the Malaysian Parliament and the Straits Times headlines of Tunku's "It was my idea..." doesn't help the impression too, so the fingers were naturally pointed to Malaysia and said Malaysia unilaterally kicked Singapore out. TLDR: The separation was not a unilateral decision made by Malaysia federal government, but a mutual separation agreed by both sides.

The previous plan was ditched as it benefits SG more than local who's paying for it.

Singapore is stolen land. Imagine how foreign people like the Chinese can conquer the place and geography of Southeast Asia?

The world would simply be nowhere if countries still held grudges. Do the Americans hate Britain cause of their past? Move on, cause it seems both countries have & I imagine you belong to neither country.

I'll never get enough of sensible non-car based infrastructure

[@dylreesYT]

It's honestly not going to be enough. I feel like the limiting factor is the customs and immigration staffing but it will definitely be an improvement. Maybe the other connections have a planned capacity improvement too?

I wish my country, the USA, would invest more in such projects to help construct HSR across the country

[@yvestreaux]

The biggest problem with this project is that due to Malaysia's side cutting funding - capacity is SEVERELY short. The train should be twice as long as it is, or have the extra platforms to increase frequency. 10K passengers per hour is not enough and will max out as soon as it's built, thanks to induced demand.

I love this channel..

[@electro_sykes]

fun fact: RTS is part of a wider plan for an MRT system in Johor Bahru much like Singapores MRT

[@fredericchick1422]

Third link in the plan.... RTS 2 in the plan.... RTS 3 in the plan.... Eventually with the rts(first in progress) on operation, it will still jam for 4hrs-6hrs....😅

[@10thdoctor15]

Surely the best example of construction enhancing connections is the channel tunnel?
