An interim measure to reduce delays at the causeway

I am disappointed to learn about the delay in the formation of the joint operating company to build the Rapid Transit Link between Singapore and Johore Bahru.

This delay was caused by the delay on the Malaysian side to appoint the joint venture partner for this project. Although it is not stated, there could be other reasons, such as heavy financing cost of the project and its financial viability.

It is certain that the RTS link will not be ready by 2004, as originally planned. We do not know how long will be the delay.

In the meantime, a few hundred thousand travelers are caught by long travel times daily.

Read my suggestion on how to deal with this matter here.

Not a surprise at all for the delay.
First, the Malaysian way of life is slow going, no need to hurry.
PAP Govt used to do their own way fast like their Party logo, no opposition at all from the people, whose mouths are zipped up anyway.
But Malaysians dun want that.
Next, the delay may be a deliberate action to incense our Govt, DR M likes it, or may not be deliberate due to shortage of funds. The RTS presently is not a priority in the Malaysian budget, there are more urgent public expenditure to consider, unless our Govt helps with $ funding, else no use running around like a headless chicken, Malaysia is not Singapore territory.
