The law allows Malaysia to check people at a station in Singapore. Singapore will do the same in Malaysia.

If something happens on the train, the country where the train is will handle it. But if the train can still move, the problem will be solved at the next stop.

If the train breaks down, the country where it is will take care of it. The 'nose of the train' will show which country is in charge.

For trains going from Malaysia to Singapore, Malaysia is in charge until the train enters Singapore. For trains going the other way, Singapore is in charge until the train enters Malaysia.

The two countries will work together on track safety.

If there's a problem with the track, the first officers to arrive will take charge. The countries will also help each other if needed.

In emergencies, helpers can cross the border to save lives or stop damage. But they can't make arrests outside their country.

Crimes on the train will be handled by both countries.

If a crime happens on the train, both Singapore and Malaysia can prosecute. But the country where the train ends its journey will usually be in charge.

The law also says which country has the power to prosecute crimes on the train. This is similar to rules used in other international transport systems.

Malaysia passed a similar law earlier this year. The train project includes a high bridge over the water between the two countries.

The train will be managed by transport authorities in both countries. It will help reduce traffic and make it easier for people to travel between Singapore and Malaysia.
