Possibility of MRT rail link between Singapore and Johor, Malaysia being discussed Transport Minister Raymond Lim said it is premature to say whether Singapore's MRT line will eventually extend into Johor Bahru. He was responding to reporters on Sunday [30 Mar 2008] about a recent Bernama report which had quoted Johor Menteri Besar Abdul Ghani Othman as saying that a block of flats that was being torn down was for a train station that would serve as an extension of Singapore's MRT line. Mr Lim said there is a working group with officials from both sides looking into how best to enhance connectivity between Singapore and Johor. While one of the options is a rail link, Mr Lim said other options are still being discussed. - It is good to see closer integration between Singapore and Malaysia, whether bilateral or within the ASEAN framework. A positive step was the fairly recent dispensing with the need to fill in those white immigration cards for Singapore visitors visiting Malaysia. An MRT railway link, if built, would be a leap forward. See also : 1. Singapore MRT rail network length to double by 2020 (2008-04-08 13:07:26 SGT)
