Public Advised to Remain Calm During RTS Link Security Exercise

PUTRAJAYA — Malaysians and cross-border commuters have been advised to remain composed during a security exercise scheduled for the RTS Link on October 27, as authorities conduct joint training operations at the Malaysia-Singapore connection point.

The Cross-Border Joint Exercise Field Training Exercise, planned for 2026 operations readiness, will involve personnel from both nations testing emergency protocols and security procedures at the rapid transit facility. The drill is designed to ensure seamless coordination between Malaysian and Singaporean agencies in responding to potential security incidents.

Authorities have requested public cooperation during the exercise, noting that the training will follow normal operational procedures to familiarize personnel with emergency response protocols. Commuters using the RTS Link during the scheduled timeframe should expect heightened security presence and may experience temporary delays as exercise activities take place.

The joint exercise reflects the commitment of both nations to maintaining robust security standards at the major cross-border transport infrastructure. Officials have encouraged the public to remain patient and supportive of the initiative, which aims to enhance readiness and coordination capabilities between the two countries' security personnel.
