Sunday, Nov 22, 2020 marked a significant milestone for Malaysia and Singapore with the groundbreaking ceremony of the long-awaited Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link project.
The on-site event was officiated virtually by the Johor ruler Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar, Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, Malaysia’s Transport Minister Wee Ka Siong and Johor Chief Minister Hasni Mohammad on the site of the RTS Link’s JB Bukit Chagar station.
The idea of a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) between Singapore and JB, first suggested in 1991 by the Singapore government, only gathered momentum in June 2011 after both countries finally came to a mutual agreement on the proposal.
