Malaysia and Singapore Test Cross-Border Emergency Cooperation for RTS Link
Published
Malaysia and Singapore have conducted a joint exercise to test how agencies from both countries work together during emergencies along the Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link project. The exercise aims to ensure the readiness of rescue teams when incidents involve both sides of the border.
During the exercise, fire agencies, medical teams and rescue personnel from both countries carried out simultaneous operational simulations. Among the tasks tested were firefighting, medical triage to determine treatment priority for victims, and evacuating injured victims to a safe location.
Through this exercise, both countries were able to identify strengths and weaknesses in their communication systems and work procedures. This is important because the RTS Link will connect Johor Bahru and Singapore, and many passengers will use the system every day once it begins operation.
In conclusion, the joint exercise demonstrates the commitment of Malaysia and Singapore to strengthening public safety cooperation. The results of this exercise will be used to improve emergency plans before the RTS Link system is opened to the public.
