PETALING JAYA: The Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link project connecting Malaysia and Singapore is progressing smoothly and is expected to be completed on schedule by the end of this year, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke. He said most physical infrastructure works are complete, with the project now in the process of installing RTS systems. "Without this law, we cannot establish co-located customs, immigration and quarantine (CIQ) stations, which would allow Singaporean officers at Bukit Chagar and Malaysian officers at Woodlands North. On the Bukit Chagar Integrated Development, he said it should adopt Hong Kong's Central-style model, connecting surrounding buildings through pedestrian walkways linked to JB Sentral. "JB Sentral and Bukit Chagar are nearly 300m apart, so integration between the two is needed for people to easily access buses and trains," he said.
