The Singapore government has verified that the Johor Baru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) project is being put on hold once again, contrary to Transport Minister Anthony Loke's indignant fury just days ago over The Star's alleged misreporting, and strongly denying claims that the RTS project will be further delayed.
On Nov 5,2019, the Singapore republic's Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan, in his written reply to Gan Thiam Poh (Ang Mo Kio GRC MP), revealed that Malaysia had requested on Oct 29 to extend the suspension of the RTS project for a third time till April 30,2020.
