An economic advisor in Johor has warned of the potential talent migration to Singapore due to the upcoming Rapid Transit System (RTS Link) set to launch in January 2027. This new system aims to facilitate movement between Johor and Singapore, which may attract skilled workers to the city-state.
Singapore has announced a new bill allowing the enforcement of Malaysian border laws at a designated area of the Woodlands North station within the rapid transit system connecting Singapore and Johor Bahru. This legislation aims to facilitate border operations and enhance the travel experience between the two countries.
Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced that the Rapid Transit System (RTS Link) between Singapore and Johor Bahru is on schedule for launch in January 2027. This comes despite global energy pressures, as the project is currently in the system installation phase.
