PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia is not being unreasonable in its demand to reclaim its airspace in southern Johor from Singapore, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke.

While he agrees with his Singaporean counterpart Khaw Boon Wan that the reclamation process is “not a straightforward decision”, he said there was a need to have more talks on the matter.
