SINGAPORE

States, some Siamese territory and Burma, on to Calcutta. The Rail- way now runs direct from Singapore to Penang; it has been extended on the West Coast through Kedah and Perlis and is connected with the Siamese railway system. The journey from Singapore to Bangkok can be made in 2 days, and from Penang in 36 hours. The railway has also been constructed from a junction at Gemas, near the northern boundary of Johore, through the eastern States of Pahang and Kelantan, to form another link with the Siamese railway system on the East Coast. The Singapore Railway was purchased in 1913 for £482,533 by the Federated Malay States Government from the Colonial Government in order to unify the British Malayan rail- way system under one management. A causeway across the Straits of Johore, carrying a double line of rails and a 26 ft. roadway, connects the Island with the mainland. The first train crossed over it on October 1st, 1923. The length of the causeway is 3,465 ft. There is a lock-170 ft. long and 32 ft. broad, widening inside the gates to 45 ft.-for small craft at the Johore end. The causeway cuts off the site of the naval base from sea communication from the West.
