Shorter customs inspection for passengers, thanks to shared CIQ facilities

These train lines include the Thailand-China Railway in Thailand and the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) connecting Malaysia and Singapore.

PETALING JAYA: Passengers taking the planned non-stop High-Speed Rail (HSR) service from Bandar Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur to Jurong East, Singapore, can expect the experience to be much like a 90-minute flight.

They will have their luggage X-rayed and undergo body scans just like at airports. But they will only need to clear the Customs, Immigration and quarantine (CIQ) checks of both countries once as the CIQ facilities will be co-located in both Bandar Malaysia and Jurong East.
