Malaysia mulls alternatives to RTS Link: Mahathir
Putrajaya
MALAYSIA has proposed, and Singapore has agreed to consider, suspending the Johor Baru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link Project for six months from April 1, in a manner similar to that for the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High-Speed Rail (HSR) project.
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and his Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong have also instructed their officials to further deliberate on the matter and to finalise the terms of the suspension. Both leaders announced this in a joint statement after their retreat on Tuesday.
