JB-Singapore RTS Link 2024
Bukit Chagar RTS Station JB to Woodlands North MRT station
Installation of rail systems on track to start from end-2024
When ready, the RTS Link will be able to carry up to 10,000 people an hour in each direction between Bukit Chagar and Woodlands North
The installation of rail systems for the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link is slated to begin from the end of 2024 as scheduled, with good progress being made on both sides of the Johor Strait.
This next phase of work will include laying the tracks, as well as installing the signalling, communications and traction power systems, said Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA), Malaysia’s Mass Rapid Transit Corporation (MRT Corp), and RTS Operations (RTSO).
RTSO is a joint venture formed in 2020 between Singapore rail operator SMRT and Malaysian public transport firm Prasarana to run the 4km cross-border rail shuttle service. More than 80 per cent of the civil infrastructure works have been completed on the Singapore side of the project, and civil infrastructure works in Malaysia have reached 93 per cent completion, the parties said in a joint statement on Nov 29. With the marine and land viaducts almost finished, LTA will be ready to progressively grant RTSO access to the civil infrastructures within Singapore from end-2024.
The remaining works in Singapore, such as architectural works, roadworks and the installation of key systems such as immigration gates, will be done in tandem with the rest of the structural works for the rail link. Additionally, construction work to connect the RTS Link to Woodlands North station on the Thomson-East Coast MRT Line, at Basement 1 of the customs, immigration and quarantine (CIQ) building in Woodlands North, will begin in 2025. Passenger service on the RTS Link is expected to start by December 2026.

Johor Bahru – Singapore Rapid Transit System Link
A smoother entry to Johor
Crossing the Straits of Johor via a 25m-high bridge from Woodlands North Station (LRT) in Singapore to the Bukit Chagar Station in JB, the Johor Bahru – Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link will help to ease Causeway congestion, improve connectivity, foster people-to-people ties and generate shared economic and social benefits.
The RTS Link will be a standalone Light Rail Transit (LRT) System with the capacity to serve up to 10,000 commuters during peak periods, for every hour and in each direction.
To facilitate a seamless travelling experience, there will be co-located Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) facilities. Passengers travelling in either direction will clear both Singapore and Malaysia authorities at the point of departure and need not go through immigration clearance again at the point of arrival.
JB-S'pore RTS rail project
KL says an LRT system would help reduce costs of rail link
Malaysia is proposing that an LRT (Light Rail Transit) system be used for a 4km cross-border rail project between Johor Baru and Singapore, said Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke yesterday.
Using an LRT system - instead of Singapore's MRT system as originally planned - will help to bring down the costs in terms of the capital expenditures and operations, he told reporters.
Mr Loke expressed confidence the LRT system which Malaysia is proposing for the Johor Baru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link can match the planned capacity of the RTS, which is slated to carry up to 10,000 passengers an hour in each direction during peak periods.
Singapore to JB MRT by 2024
JB-Woodlands RTS to proceed albeit slight delay - MoT
The Ministry of Transport has indicated the government intends to proceed with the four-km Rapid Transit System (RTS) that connects Johor Bharu and Woodlands in Singapore.
But Malaysia may not be able to sign a joint venture (JV) agreement with Singapore before June 30 this year as the government requires more time to study the project details, Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook said at a press conference after his visit to the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) today. "Due to the consistent heavy traffic, the government has on principle agreed to proceed with the project at a cost of RM4 billion, and we will try to expedite the progress while reducing the cost.
"The project will be undertaken by a JV between Prasarana Malaysia Bhd and SMRT Corp Ltd, and the JV agreement was supposed to be signed by June 30 this year, but we think we might need another month to evaluate the details of this project before we sign the JV agreement," he said.
Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System
The Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link is an international cross-border rapid transit system that will connect Malaysia's second largest city, Johor Bahru and Woodlands, Singapore, crossing the Strait of Johor. It will consist of two stations, with the Malaysian terminus at Bukit Chagar station and the Singaporean terminus at Woodlands North station, which also interchanges with Singapore's Thomson–East Coast MRT line.
Both stations will consist of co-located customs, immigration and quarantine facilities of both countries. When built, the RTS Link will be the second rail link between the two countries after the KTM Intercity's Shuttle Tebrau, between JB Sentral and Woodlands Train Checkpoint. However, the RTS Link is expected to replace this shuttle once it is completed. For Malaysia, RTS Link is the first LRT system outside of the Klang Valley.
A joint operating company between Singapore's SMRT Corporation and Malaysia's Prasarana will be the operator of the link. Construction started on the Malaysian section on 22 November 2020 and on the Singaporean section on 22 January 2021.
Bukit Chagar RTS station
Construction site of the RTS station in March 2024
Bukit Chagar RTS station is an elevated terminal station currently being built in Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia. The station will be located north of Johor Bahru Sentral and forms the Malaysian terminus of the Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System. It is scheduled to open by end 2026. When opened, an estimate of 60,000 additional commuters will be able to cross the Causeway during peak hours.
The Bukit Chagar station was announced on 15 September 2015 during the Iskandar Malaysia Comprehensive Development Plan Open Day in a public poll. The other three options were Tanjung Puteri, JB Sentral 1 and JB Sentral 2.
The Bukit Chagar RTS terminal station will be developed adjacent to proposed to be built Bukit Chagar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) complex and will not be sharing with existing facilities at the Sultan Iskandar Building CIQ complex. The terminal station has been proposed to alleviate the immigration checkpoint movement at Sultan Iskandar Building CIQ complex.
Woodlands North MRT station
Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) terminus - Future Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) station
Woodlands North MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station in Woodlands, Singapore.[5] The station is the northern terminus of the Thomson–East Coast Line (TEL).
It is located at the centre of Woodlands North at Woodlands North Coast Road, off Admiralty Road West, and is adjacent to Republic Polytechnic (RP). The station is envisioned to serve the Woodlands North Coast project, a mixed-use business and lifestyle precinct in the far north of the country designed by Arup and built by JTC.
The station was one of the first three TEL stations to be opened on 31 January 2020 as part of Stage 1. During its construction, plans were made for the station to be linked with the Johor Bahru–Singapore RTS, which was confirmed in 2012. Construction began in 2021, and it will be the Singapore terminus of the RTS when it is completed by 2026.

Common hygiene habits that are detrimental to health
In fact, some of them can be quite dangerous
If you shower on a regular basis and maintain good oral hygiene, you probably consider yourself as a clean and hygienic individual. However, it's possible that you're neglecting a few areas, an oversight that could have a noticeable impact on your overall long-term health. So, what are you missing?
Click through the gallery and discover some common hygiene habits that are actually detrimental to health:
- Using the phone while on toilet isn't advisable - While it may be tempting to use your mobile device in the bathroom and browse social media, keep in mind that cell phones can harbor numerous germs. These microbes can easily transfer to other surfaces, including your face.
- Using Q-tips - Removing excessive earwax using a Q-tip may seem beneficial, but it often does more harm than good. The act of pushing earwax deeper into the ear canal can lead to complications, potentially resulting in lasting damage to the eardrum and canal. Caution is therefore advised when using them.
- Wash your hair daily if necessary - Your scalp naturally produces oils that are necessary for maintaining healthy and shiny hair. Shampooing helps remove dirt and excess oil. However, excessive shampooing can result in dry and less vibrant hair.
- Not washing hair at all - Neglecting hair hygiene has negative consequences. Along with a bad odor, it can result in bacterial accumulation and subsequent hair follicle obstruction, potentially causing infections. It is recommended you wash your hair every two to three days.
- Not caring properly for eyelash extensions - Improper care of eyelash extensions can have negative effects. The glues involved can be toxic and cause various levels of harm to the eyes, potentially resulting in impaired vision or inflamed corneas.
- Handwashing is important - It is crucial to wash hands regularly to maintain good health and reduce the transmission of illness. This is especially so after coming into contact with potentially unclean surfaces.
- You're using my razor! - Sharing razors is highly discouraged due to the risk of spreading skin infections such as staph, as well as the potential transmission of serious viruses like hepatitis and HIV.
- Insufficient dental care - It can be tempting to rush through your toothbrushing routine, especially in the mornings when you're still groggy. However, it's important to dedicate a solid two minutes to brushing your teeth, twice daily as per the recommended minimum requirement.
- Wearing contact lenses while sleeping - Sleeping while wearing contact lenses may result in eye irritation. In more severe circumstances, it can cause corneal abrasion or infection. Be kind to your peepers and give them a break by removing contacts before going to bed.
- Keeping your toothbrush near the toilet - Placing your toothbrush near the toilet poses a risk of cross-contamination due to an unseen cloud of tiny particles released during flushing, potentially compromising hygiene and cleanliness.
- Dirty towels - A shower towel can harbor bacteria, mold, and yeast within days due to lingering moisture. To prevent this, it is recommended the towel be replaced every three to four days to maintain good hygiene and reduce the risk of contamination.
- Cleaning vegetables - To avoid food poisoning, it's important to wash fruits and vegetables before consuming them, as the bacteria present can be harmful. Additionally, consuming pesticides on unwashed produce can increase the risk of serious health issues.
- Warm showers - Hot showers can have adverse effects on the body, such as parching the skin and removing essential oils. The high temperature may also lead to a decrease in blood pressure by expanding outer blood vessels. It is therefore advisable to limit the duration of hot showers.
- Using kitchen sponges for extended periods - Sponges have a strong attraction to germs, increasing the risk of infections such as salmonella. Regardless of the duration of sponge usage, it is advisable to replace it regularly to maintain good hygiene.
- Leaving in tampons for too long - Toxic shock syndrome is a potentially life-threatening infection that can occur if tampons are not changed frequently enough, although it is very rare.
- Too much moisturizer - Maintaining proper moisture balance is crucial for healthy skin. However, excessive moisturization can worsen dryness and cause clogged pores and blackheads. To ensure optimal results, moisturize your body every other day, allowing it to retain its natural oils.
- Washing your bedding - It is important to regularly change your bedding to prevent the buildup of large amounts of particles, such as human skin cells. Aim for changing your sheets at least every two weeks.
- Too much mouthwash - Mouthwash can actually be too harsh for some. Alcohol-based mouthwashes tend to dehydrate the mouth. It's better to instead use mouthwash sparingly throughout the week.
- Walking without footwear - Flip-flops and water shoes serve a purpose. Therefore it is advisable to wear them when using public pools or showering at the gym. This is due to the fact that shower floors can accumulate sweat, hair, and urine, creating a breeding ground for bacteria, fungus, and mold—something you definitely don't want to encounter!
- Nail care - Regularly trimming your nails is important to prevent the spread of infections caused by dirt and bacteria. It's worth noting that nail clippers can also harbor bacteria and fungal spores. To keep them clean, scrub them with rubbing alcohol.
- Sleeping with makeup - Sleeping with your makeup on is a common skincare error. Failing to cleanse your face daily can result in clogged pores, causing blackheads and pimples. Moreover, leftover makeup can travel beneath your eyelids, causing irritated hair follicles along the lash line and even severe skin infections.
- Rarely showering - Maintaining personal hygiene is vital, and a brief daily shower suffices. Overall, employing soap and water effectively safeguards against acne, rashes, and potentially critical infections.
- Your TV remote - TV remotes are frequently neglected during cleaning, resulting in a buildup of germs and viruses. It is advisable to include them in your cleaning routine.
- Regularly washing bras and underwear - It's useful to change your underwear daily to maintain good hygiene. In the case of bras, be mindful as they can accumulate oils and bacteria, leading to skin issues like acne and rashes.
- Reuse unwashed water bottles - Refilling your disposable plastic water bottle frequently or refilling your reusable water bottle without proper cleaning is highly unsanitary. Neglecting to wash it allows bacteria to accumulate, potentially causing food poisoning.
- Hands on your face - Resting your face on your hands is a common habit that may have unintended consequences. Consider the possibility that this action could introduce dirt to your face and potentially block your pores. Explore alternative sitting positions to avoid this.
- Keeping your bath sponge intact - To prevent the growth of bacteria, mold, and yeast, ensure your washcloths and loofahs dry thoroughly after each use and replace them regularly.
- Insufficient hygiene following toilet usage - Ensuring proper hygiene after using the restroom will maintain cleanliness of underwear and prevent unpleasant odors. Always wipe from front to back to deter bacteria.
- Sharing your hairbrush - Sometimes it's wiser to prioritize oneself, even when it comes to personal items like hairbrushes. This is because sharing them can lead to the spread of lice and skin rashes, posing potential risks. It's safer and more advisable to refrain from sharing hairbrushes with others to maintain personal hygiene and avoid these issues.

Black Friday 2024
What and when is Black Friday?
Do You Know The History Behind Black Friday?
Black Friday is a name used for two unrelated occasions. It is now most popularly used in the US to refer to the day after Thanksgiving, which is often considered the first day of the holiday shopping season and is known for featuring discounts from retailers. Black Friday is always the Friday after Thanksgiving, which is always the fourth Thursday in November. In 2023, Black Friday is November 24. In 2024, Black Friday is November 29. The name Black Friday is also used to refer to September 24, 1869, the date of a financial panic in the US sparked by gold speculators.
Where did the term Black Friday come from? While many people believe the term Black Friday finds its roots in the sense of black meaning “showing a profit; not showing any losses,” this isn’t actually the case. Historically, black has been associated with days of economic stress as opposed to days of booming commercial success. The first Black Friday occurred in 1869 after financier Jay Gould and railway businessman James Fisk attempted to corner the gold market, which ultimately resulted in financial panic and the collapse of the market. A little over 60 years later, on October 29, 1929, another stock market crash referred to as Black Tuesday marked the onset of the Great Depression.
The true origin of the post-Thanksgiving Black Friday lies in the sense of black meaning “marked by disaster or misfortune.” In the 1950s, factory managers first started referring to the Friday after Thanksgiving as Black Friday because so many of their workers decided to falsely call in sick, thus extending the holiday weekend. About 10 years later, Black Friday was used by Philadelphia traffic cops to describe the day after Thanksgiving because they had to work 12-hour shifts in terrible traffic. Visitors flocked to the city to start their holiday shopping and, sometimes this popular shopping day coincided with the annual Army–Navy football game. The term caught on among shoppers and merchants in Philadelphia, and from there it took off nationwide. The 1980s brought the mythology of Black Friday as we know it today. While the phrases in the black and in the red are used in the business world to describe profits and losses, this explanation for one of the busiest shopping days of the year only came about in the 1980s, about 20 years after the phrase Black Friday was in regular use.
When is Black Friday 2024?
Black Friday has a late start in 2024 – falling on November 29. Based on this date and past shopping trends.
Are you wondering what day Black Friday falls on this year? The major shopping holiday always takes place the day after Thanksgiving, which is the fourth Friday in November. This means the Biggest Shopping Day of the Year is on Friday, November 29 in 2024.
However, since "Black Friday" as a shopping event extends far beyond this specific Friday in November, it can be hard to keep tabs on when your favorite retailers are hosting sales and where to find the best deals. That's why we've created this guide to help you tackle all your Black Friday shopping in 2024 with ease.

Eventually, the phrase became synonymous with the beginning of the holiday shopping season among retailers. As a result of the spike in consumer spending, the day came to be associated with enormous discounts and deals, with many stores moving "into the black," or making money.
For the most part, Black Friday was a single day dedicated to in-store shopping. But the scope and duration of the event increased along with e-commerce. These days, a lot of shops offer online deals in addition to in-store experiences, beginning their promotions days or even weeks in advance.

Memories of Yesteryears
Heritage SG Memories
Once Upon A Time - Susu Chap Junjung
Grew up before the days when powdered and fresh milk were readily available in Old Malaya ... so 'susu pekat', i.e. condensed milk in tins (metal cans plated with tin, that came from the Kinta Valley 😉) were the only source of milk to most people ... and the "Milkmaid Brand" from Nestle dominated the market, then ... with a picture of the Milkmaid with a pail of milk in one hand and the other balanced on her head ... it's also 'sweetened' aka lot of sugar ... that caused a lot of problems to a lot of people, later in life ... especially when one enjoys spreading the condensed milk on bread and sprinkling Milo powder on it ... guilty of it and was warned by the Doctors to stop or suffer being a diabetic ... so now Atuk is resigned to having Tehsi Kosong (no sugar but just evaporated milk) while chatting away with friends at the Warong
Found some old pictures of Milkmaids which showed them carrying their pails of milk, balanced on a stick ... not unlike our Kayu Kandar ... and they are called 'yokes' ... wonder if they'll be new Nasi Kandar shops mushrooming with signboards, "Rice Yoke" ... just a joke, lahhh.
