Entry and departure into and from Singapore is now a breeze, but Malaysia still has it's delays that could be easily overcome.

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.

I love it when you profile sensible practical engineering projects and not those big money vanity projects we have become accustomed to nowadays.

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.

@@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.

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 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 a bit naff, really

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.

One thing I wish you'd covered is the transit connections at the two ends of the new rail line.

i think RTS will only reduce congestion for those taking buses to JB. Those who took cars are less likely. I wonder if the RTS will instead introduced an opposite effect with more people deciding to travel to JB now with this new mode of transportation and seemingly convenience. Propably increasing congestion for the trains. Even if they stuck to the original plan and use MRT trains rather than the LRT/Regional lines, it will still be congested i think. They will need High capacity trains really to have an impact

In the end, it is also up to the immigration process, how smooth and efficient both checkpoints point in clearing both tourists and workers. And also how the local transport system could cope with exploding numbers of traveling and ferry them across from both checkpoints. For example, Singapore had invested in adding more automated lanes to help ease the congestion issue. The passport clearance time was shortened but now the congestion issues had shifted toward the bus bay.

Audio after the ad's a bit weird. Seems like the voice channel is ducking the background music, which is fine, but it means we get these half-second bursts of loudness between sentences...

There’s a need for total of 4 bridges to connect via Johor to Singapore which will dramatically reduced all traffic congestions for border crossings. 2 bridges for going in and 2 bridges to exit out. This perhaps will render the train transit as a redundant plan. But ultimately, the daily population will increased multiple folds, question is; can the state of Johor and Singapore able to adjust and cope to this changes at rapid speed.
