\nThis comes as the details of Malaysia\u2019s proposed changes to the RTS Link project is not yet ready.
\nWhile Malaysia had already decided to go ahead with the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link project, Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan said the suspension period for the project has been extended to 30 April 2020.
\nThe reason for the extended suspension? The details of Malaysia\u2019s proposed changes to the RTS Link project is \u201cnot yet ready\u201d, said Khaw.
\n\u201cWithout the details, Malaysia\u2019s proposal is incomplete and Singapore is unable to make a thorough assessment of the technical and commercial feasibility of the proposal,\u201d he said in a written response to Parliament on Monday (4 November).
\nHe revealed that Malaysia had, on 29 October, requested for the suspension to be extended by another six months to 30 April 2020, reported CNA.
\n\u201cIn the spirit of bilateral cooperation, Singapore agreed to Malaysia\u2019s request to further extend the suspension period,\u201d said Khaw.
\nIn May, Malaysia and Singapore agreed to suspend the RTS Link\u2019s construction until 30 September at the request of Malaysia.
\nBoth parties agreed to extend the deadline for another month, until 31 October, when Malaysia\u00a0finally\u00a0declared that the project would proceed.
\n\u201cSingapore welcomes Malaysia\u2019s decision to proceed with the RTS Link Project. This is a mutually beneficial project for both countries. The RTS Link will significantly ease Causeway congestion, facilitate business and tourism, and bring our people closer together,\u201d said Khaw.
\n\u201cWhile we are not obliged to accept Malaysia\u2019s proposed changes, we will continue to keep an open mind and assess them carefully and objectively.\u201d
