Food progress is being made to East congestion at Singapore's and Malaysia's land checkpoints, particularly to increase the capacity of the cross-way. Say, Prime Minister Lee Shin-long on Monday. Thus with the considerable effort being made to improve customs, immigration and quarantine CICU clearance on the Jehau side, the redevelopment and expansion of Woodlands checkpoint will increase the filter rate of people travelling by land between the two countries. Sayed PM Lee. The Jehau Boros Singapore Rapid Transit System RTS-Link remains on track for completion by M2026. He added at a press conference at the completion of the 10 Singapore Malaysia leaders retreat at the Estana. During their meeting, PM Lee explained to Malaysian Prime Minister Inwai Bhrikhi, why Woodlands checkpoint needed to be redeveloped, which will require land reclamation and he was glad that the TXERI Inwai supported the project. Mr Inwai, say Singapore, requires land that is currently under the Malaysian authorities for the redevelopment and that Malaysia will facilitate the sale. We can facilitate the sale. So that Singapore can have the facility to then make sure that the flow is made more easily, both formulation workers to Singapore and Singaporeans coming particularly during the weekends into Jehau Boros. He said at the press conference, connectivity remains a priority area for the two countries with congestion on the costway occasionally being a sticking point for travellers from both sites. PM Lee said the two sites are working closely to make full use of the capacity of the costway because the flow depends not just on how wide the costways but also on the clearance on both sites. The CICU in Malaysia at JV and the CICU at Woodlands. He noted that the immigration and checkpoints of ROTICA has introduced various initiatives to smoothen cross-border travel while maintaining border security. Though the long-term solution is to enlarge the footprint of Woodlands checkpoint to handle growing traffic volume. I see in the Singapore land authority projected in May 2022 that traffic volume and woodlands will increase almost 40% by 2015 as they announced a redevelopment and extension of Woodlands checkpoint. Mr Inwai, say congestion at the costway has caused a huge problem particularly for workers from Malaysia. But that the problem has eased. The RTS-Ling is a key project to increase connectivity for both peoples, noted PM Lee. In March, Singapore said the construction of the third land link between Singapore and Malaysia is progressing well. With 45% of the work on the Singapore site completed. When the 4km RTS-Ling shuttle service starts operating, passengers will be able to travel from Bukechagah station into Hau Boru to Woodlands North Station or in the reverse direction in about 5 minutes. As will be the case, Bukechagah station, the CICU facilities of both Singapore and Malaysia will be collocated within the same building at Woodlands North. This means that passengers need to clear immigration at their point of departure only, instead of having to do either second time when they arrive as is the current practice for land border crossings. Passengers will also be able to transfer from the RTS station to the Tomsonese Coast Line via an underground link without needing to exit the station. The two sites had in 2018 signed a bilateral agreement to build a rail link, which was originally scheduled for completion in 2024. Work on the link officially resumed in July 2020 following several suspensions. When ready, the train service will be able to surf up to 10. 0000 passengers an hour in each direction.
