SINGAPORE and Malaysia should be able to announce their joint decisions on the RTS and HSR soon, said Khaw Boon Wan, Singapore's Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Minister for Transport in a Facebook post on Thursday.

He was referring to the planned rail links between both countries - the Johor Baru-Singapore Rapid Transit System and the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur High Speed Rail.

He said this after a meeting in the Republic with Malaysia's Economic Affairs Minister Mohamed Azmin Ali, whom he described as an "inspiring leader" with whom he had been "brainstorming ideas on how to further our bilateral relationship".

Mr Mohamed Azmin said on Facebook: "We are inching closer to a win-win deal on HSR, thanks to the hard work of officials from both sides."
