JOHOR BARU: Malaysia has agreed to proceed with the Rapid Transit System (RTS) between Bukit Chagar and Woodlands in Singapore, but there are issues that need to be ironed out.

These include inking three new agreements, which are expected to be signed by both countries next year. Construction works for the RTS are also only expected to start next year.
