JOHOR BAHRU — Malaysia will introduce state-of-the-art body scanners at the ICQ checkpoint serving the Rapid Transit System Link, a major infrastructure project connecting Malaysia and Singapore at the Johor-Singapore border.
The advanced scanning technology is designed to improve efficiency in security screening without compromising thoroughness. The new equipment will enable faster processing of travellers while maintaining comprehensive security protocols at one of the region's busiest cross-border checkpoints.
The RTS Link, a rapid transit rail connection between Bukit Chagar in Johor Bahru and Woodlands in Singapore, represents a significant enhancement to transport connectivity between the two countries. The deployment of upgraded scanning technology reflects commitments by both nations to modernise border infrastructure and facilitate smoother cross-border movement.
The implementation of advanced screening systems is expected to reduce congestion and waiting times for commuters and travellers using the new link. Malaysian authorities have prioritised the integration of latest security technologies to ensure the checkpoint operates at international standards.
