MRT Corp said the project that received approval from the Cabinet in 2019 was a government commitment that needed to be implemented.
Chief executive officer Datuk Mohd Zarif Hashim said the project that received approval from the Cabinet in 2019 was a government commitment that needed to be implemented.
"This project is a commitment from the government, as a country, we have to do it. The project is also halfway through with all the land already purchased,” he told reporters after the RTS and Impact on Johor Seminar at the University of Reading Malaysia, here, today. Regarding the development of RTS, he said the project has so far reached more than 20 per cent and is running according to schedule, including the construction of the depot located in Wadi Hana, here.
Mohd Zarif said the RTS project, which can reduce traffic congestion and shorten the journey by about 15 minutes from Johor Bahru to Singapore, is expected to bring economic spillover and investment to Johor.
