The railway station at Tanjung Pagar

OK. This is a railway station at Tanjung Pagar, at the western fringe of Singapura city centre...

For the record this railway station belongs to KTMB (Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad), the government-linked railway company of Malaysia.

Actually it's the southernmost railway station operated by KTMB. From here one could take a railway to Kuala Lumpur some 400 km to the north and go straight another 400km to Padang Besar in Kedah before entering Thailand. One could also take the forking path at Gemas heading north-east to Kelantan through Pahang.


This railway station is a remnant of the days went Singapura was part of Malaysia...



Now it is a reminder that the island, despite Singapura's at times harsh attitude towards Malaysia still remains a part of the overall concept of Tanah Melayu despite its overwhelming Chinese population or any claims to the contrary.
