The Singapore Land Authority has gazetted the acquisition of the site occupied by Raffles Country Club for the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail project. RCC is located on Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim near the Tuas Checkpoint.

The RCC site will be used for HSR crossover tracks and a HSR siding facility to temporarily house a train near the border for safety or operational reasons, according to a statement by the Land Transport Authority. The site will also house the Cross Island Line's western depot for stabling and maintenance facilities, as well as other transport related needs.

In 2015, Jurong Country Club went through a similar fate when it was acquired to make way for HSR Terminus. The club is understood to be appealing for a higher compensation than the $89.8 million offered by the authorities.

RCC is required to vacate the property by Jul 31, 2018.
