MALAYSIA TO RELOCATE TANJONG PAGAR TRAIN STATION TO WOODLANDS

SINGAPORE, May 24 (Bernama) –- Malaysia today agreed to move the Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) station at Tanjong Pagar here to the Woodlands Train Checkpoint (WTCP) by July 1, 2011.
Malaysia will also co-locate its railway customs, immigration and quarantine (CIQ) facilities at the WTCP.
These were some of the major decisions reached by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and his Singapore counterpart Lee Hsien Loong during the leaders' retreat at the Shangri-La Hotel here.
When they met, both leaders were looking at the matters arising from the Points of Agreement (PoA) on Malayan railway lands in Singapore which had long become the obstacles to their countries’ good bilateral ties.
Najib and Lee agreed to move the issues forward and both countries decided to jointly develop the KTMB lands around Singapore to maximize its full potentials.bernama
