During the 10th Malaysia and Singapore Leaders’ Retreat recently, the Immigration and Transportation Links Work Group is to work in close cooperation to strengthen infrastructure and cross border connectivity.

Both Prime Ministers, Mr Lee Hsien Loong, representing Singapore and Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim of Malaysia declared in a joint statement that transport agencies from both countries have made progress in strengthening links and commuting experiences.

Officials from both countries have also been encouraged to continually exchange ideas to improve efficiency of cross border travel for their people by increasing the frequency of bus services and introducing new ferry services.

Singapore plans to redevelop the Woodlands Checkpoint and the Johor Bahru to Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link is under construction and it is a beneficial project to alleviate congestion along the Causeway.

A Memorandum of Understanding on the Johor to Singapore Special Economic Zone will be signed early next year and a special task force under the Joint Ministerial Committee for Iskandar Malaysia was established.

This is Anwar’s maiden appearance at the Retreat since becoming Malaysia’s Prime Minister and he hailed the successful cooperation between the two nations. The 11th Retreat will be held in Malaysia next year.
