Ekspres Sinaran No. 15 (Kuala Lipis – Singapore) - Service cancelled

Shuttle No. 61 (Gemas- Kluang) - service only available between Kluang – Singapore.

Shuttle No. 64 (Kluang - Gemas)- service only available between Singapore-Kluang.

Services for the central and northern sector are unaffected, for now.
