In a written parliamentary reply on Monday , Khaw revealed that Malaysia had requested on Oct 29 to extend the suspension of the RTS project for a third time, till April 30,2020.
In his written reply to Gan Thiam Poh , Khaw said both sides are currently discussing the Malaysia's proposed changes to the project, which would require amending the RTS Link Bilateral Agreement. Malaysia had earlier requested to suspend construction of the RTS project for six months from April 1 this year, to have more time to study ways to reduce the project cost.
On Oct 21, Malaysia told Singapore that it intended to proceed with the RTS Link, with some changes, he said."Without the details, Malaysia's proposal is incomplete and Singapore is unable to make a thorough assessment of the technical and commercial feasibility of the proposal," added Khaw, who is also Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure.
