Good. Then the old train station (security guard/s) will no longer be so restrictive to hobbyists who want to go and photograph the old vintage train station building.

93.8 Live mentioned that the railway station will be preserved.

PM Lee and PM Najib propose a rapid transit link between Tanjung Puteri in Johor and Singapore.

The proposed rapid transit system link will be operational by 2018. Thereafter, Malaysia may consider relocating the KTM Station from Woodlands to Johor.

Finally! They should have made the move long time ago.

The building will be conserved. However there will be developments. Also only a section of the railway tracks will be conserved. I wish they let us in to shoot like the national stadium.
