Johor Baru - Singapore rail link project to begin in November, says Johor Menteri Besar

GELANG PATAH - Work on the Johor Baru-Singapore Transit Link System project is expected to start this November, said Johor Menteri Besar Hasni Mohammad.

"The long-awaited project will boost Johor's economy, as it will create an economic spillover especially in Iskandar Malaysia," he told reporters on Sunday . He said the train depot spans about 2.83ha, and added that it would create between 400 and 500 job opportunities for locals. He said that of the 222 unresolved issues related to the project, both countries have successfully solved 220, with only two more issues, which a technical committee will discuss at a meeting on Monday.On June 22, Singapore's Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan said discussions with Malaysia about the construction of RTS Link were still ongoing, with a final deadline of July 31.
