Pakatan govt's plan to proceed with RTS appears to be a ploy to woo voters, says MCA

MCA's Dr Tee Ching Seng.

KUALA LUMPUR: The announcement by the Pakatan Harapan government to proceed with the Johor Baru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) project, after it was put on hold several times, seems like a ploy to woo voters in the upcoming Tanjung Piai by-elections, says MCA.

While it welcomed the announcement, its International communication and diplomacy bureau chairperson cum RTS monitoring group representative Dr Tee Ching Seng chided Transport Minister Anthony Loke for failing to sign the amended bilateral agreement with the Singapore government which many were expecting at the end of last month.
