Clause 73

Any conduct engaged in by a person in a Singapore designated area of a cross‑border railway that, if engaged in within Singapore, would constitute an offence under section 50(c) is to be treated for the purposes of that provision as if the person engaged in that conduct in Singapore.(2) A person who engaged in any conduct mentioned in subsection (1) may be tried and punished for that conduct by a court in Singapore.(3) To be clear, it does not matter whether the conduct engaged in constitutes an offence under the laws of Malaysia, and this section does not affect sections 39 and 40 of the Cross‑Border Railways (Border Control Co‑location) Act 2026.(4) Section 44 extends to apply to and in relation to any document that is produced by a person within a Singapore designated area of a cross‑border railway, with respect to an offence mentioned in subsection (1), subject to the following modifications:

any reference to the Registrar‑General is a reference only to a Registrar, a Supervising Deputy Registrar, an Assistant Registrar or a registration officer who —

is delegated the power or function of the Registrar‑General under that section; and

is a Singapore preclearance officer;

any reference to taking possession of any document from any person includes a reference to transferring custody of the document taken to a Malaysian border protection service officer without delay.(5) In this section, “cross‑border railway”, “Malaysian border protection service officer”, “Singapore designated area” and “Singapore preclearance officer” have the meanings given by section 3(1) of the Cross‑Border Railways (Border Control Co‑location) Act 2026.”.
