PUTRAJAYA -
Malaysia will go ahead with plans to build a cross-border MRT line between Johor Baru and Singapore, but wants to look at ways to lower costs, said
newly minted Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
The government has agreed to continue with the Rapid Transit System (RTS)
link, a 4km line that will connect Bukit Chagar station in Johor Baru to Woodlands North, he told reporters after a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday (May 30).
"Of course, we will review the agreements. We want to review the terms and conditions, and the Finance Ministry will look into how to reduce the cost
of the project," said Mr Loke. "But we are committed to continue with the project."
