KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 5 — Putrajaya has made a request with Singapore, seeking the suspension of the Johor Baru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link project again until April 30, 2020, despite announcing it would proceed without further delay.

Khaw said the further extension of the suspension period was requested on October 29, just two days before the new launch. Earlier that same day, Transport Minister Anthony Loke had reprimanded The Star newspaper over its frontpage report claiming Malaysia had requested another postponement to the RTS.

The other will be a concession agreement for both countries to appoint the operation company as the RTS Link operator.
