SINGAPORE - The Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System is a priority for both sides of the Causeway, said Johor chief minister Onn Hafiz Ghazi on Tuesday, as he wrapped up his three-day working visit to the Republic.
The RTS link is slated for completion by end-2026. When the 4km rail shuttle service is operational, passengers will be able to travel from Woodlands to Bukit Chagar in Johor Bahru, or in the other direction, in five minutes. To ease congestion on the Second Link, the Johor chief also surfaced a proposal for a new ferry service connecting Puteri Harbour in Johor to Tuas.
Mr Onn Hafiz also noted Singapore’s consistent top ranking in the Global Food Security Index despite acquiring more than 90 per cent of its food from more than 170 countries and territories, including Johor for items such as fruit, chicken and vegetables. Mr Onn Hafiz said he was “moved” to hear the two ministers reaffirm the close ties Malaysia and Singapore share, and that he hopes to further improve the relationship between the two neighbouring countries.
