Possibility of MRT rail link between Singapore and Johor, Malaysia being discussed

channelnewsasia.com :

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.
