Malaysian immigration officers stationed at the Woodlands North station of the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link will not have powers of arrest.The same applies for Singaporean immigration officers stationed at the Bukit Chagar station in Johor Bahru.This key feature is part of the Cross-Border Railways (Border Control Co-Location) Bill, which was tabled for First Reading in Parliament on Tuesday (April 7).Should the Bill be passed, it will provide the legal basis for the co-location of border clearance in addition to the coordination of railway security and the management of cross-border incidents at the RTS Link.This Bill also plays an important role in supporting the operation of the RTS Link.Travellers will only need to clear immigration once, at the point of embarkation, similar to existing arrangements.This is enabled by co-locating both countries' customs, immigration and quarantine (CIQ) facilities at both RTS Link stations in Woodlands North and Bukit Chagar.  Read more
