\nIn fact, this was previously done for the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High-Speed Rail (HSR) project, Khaw said during a joint press conference with his Malaysian counterpart Anthony Loke following a ceremony marking the inaugural landing of Malaysian carrier Firefly at Seletar Airport.
\nThe two ministers had earlier revealed, after their meeting on 8 April, that Singapore and Malaysia were working on a supplemental agreement to suspend the 4km RTS link project for six months.
\nThe two countries had already agreed to suspend the HSR project for two years, with Malaysia paying $15 million to Singapore for abortive costs.
\nMalaysia requested to suspend the RTS link in order to review key parameters.
\n\u201cAt this point in time, we are still committed to ensuring that the project can continue,\u201d said Loke.
\nHe had earlier shared that the suspension of the RTS involved \u201csome cost\u201d on the part of Malaysia. The RTS link was set to start operations by 31 December 2024.
