Singapore and Malaysia will also undertake to improve connectivity by opening a Rapid Transit System link from Singapore to Johor Baru by 2018.

A joint technical group is targeting to call the tender for a consultancy study by the fourth quarter of this year.

A joint Singapore-Malaysia statement said: "The terminating stations of the (rapid transit system) link will be in the vicinity of JB Sentral, Johor Baru and in the vicinity of Republic Polytechnic, Singapore.
