Time for Mahathir to go to jail or rest permanently in hospital. He is main evil character trying to kill the project for personal reasons.

Sydney Metro system which requires long tunnels to be dug takes much shorter time to complete than the Johor-Singapore RTS Link which looks much simpler and less complicated.

That country has a poor record of upholding their side of an agreement. Making late changes to agreements that cost millions of dollars to the other party is a common occurrence. A change of government or mismanagement of funds is all it takes to derail the project. Singapore should not have entertained this nonsensical project.

Many people know that during Mahathir era. He is practicing cronies capitalism. Any government projects where his cronies do not benefits must be put on hold until his cronies get a piece of the action.

No, Mahathir and Johor Sultan in poor relationship. Johor's gain is loss to Mahathir. Personal pride and selfishness impeded the progress for the greater goods of Malaysia people.

Mahathir cancelled the RTS Project simply because he couldn’t make any money out from the project when Singapore demanded that both countries shall collaborate to manage the entire project, then the corrupted Mahathir got annoyed and discontinue the project. Mahathir has been using his cronies to make billions of dollars for him in ALL the government projects during his time as PM, he taught he can ransom Singapore 🇸🇬 to continue his ill behaviour 😈😈😈

The reason why Malaysia will forever be a developing nations is all credits to Mahathir's short slightness in many things.Took too long for Malaysian to realised it.

Many of the older local Malays' generations with an ossidified mindset still think that Malaysia solely belongs to their race only. They insensibly refuse to face & accept the Reality that after 1957 Independence, the Federation of Malaysia belongs to all Malaysian citizens namely the local Malays, Chinese, Indians, Orang Asli/Asal, Dayaks, Bidayuhs, Ibans, Kadazandusuns, etc of Sabah & Sarawak, and overall citizens of Malayans, Sabahans and Sarawakians! 😊

It's always a risky proposition to deal with them. It's unpredictable what problems they will create and what changes they will make at the last minute. A project that primarily benefits one side should not be entertained in the first place. Singapore's willingness to be part of this project demonstrates its commitment to good neighborliness.

Glad this major projects had finally initialed, obviously this will benefits both the Countries Malaysia and Singapore. More for the Johorean and those MALAYSIANS working in Singapore their hardship on travelling Daily had been kept silence for far too long. Thanks for the Current Leaders on both side. 👍

Should make him travel the causeway daily or once every week without RTS .

This project will mainly benefit Malaysian workers that needed to transit for work in Singapore.

I would say that the corrupt Mahathir still hates Singapore to an extent, and refuses to cooperate. I suspect he isn't willing to fork out his own "hard earned" cash to help in this situation.

PUT Mahathir behind bars.

It's time for his to stop his sabotage and sit back and let the present government carry out its task as Malaysians need to work and Singapore gives them the job opportunities rather than having empty pockets.

Concluded that Malaysia could not emerge as the " county of the future" due to entrenched issues such as the caste system, bureaucratic challenges, racial and religions conflicts, and a perceived lack of resolve from national leadership to address these problems. Malaysia labor force lags behind. Who are the most corrupt politicians in Malaysia, all because of of our Malay Muslim cause Trillionaire Tun Mahathir, umno and PAS in which corruption are they involved? If Malaysia wanna be an Advanced country? Very difficult. Unless they can Solve their racist the world & religion issues.

I ADORE YOUR ENGLISH AND CHOICE OF WORDS

yeah the old MA did not hv any benefits n wanted some. but all the candies had already been given out to the previous person in charged so the only way is threatend to stop the kitchen n blackmail the chefs who is trying to cook anything !!!

I have not felt such confidence in the Malaysian leadership for many years and believe as long as they can stay in power this will be a done deal.

RTS greatly benefits JB more than SG and Mahathir is spiteful enough to ignore that.

He delayed it. Because he couldn't get enough money into his pocket. 😂😂😂😂

Maha must benefit,most important he must benefit.Maha knows best.but he did not get the best deal So no deal

Well, don't rush him. He is sick. Already so old. Poor thing still figthing to be recognised as still useful. A struggle for some who have this figth within himself. Now for his health best interest, let him have a good rest not having to worry the uncompleted projects. Prepare a good assistsnce in the meantime to carry on with the projects but please assure as soon he is certified fit again for the task, he will be given the go ahead. This way is for the benefits involved in this rts projects. We wish him well.

What does mahathir know about transportation for him to stop the project which everyone know that there were a lot of studies carried out between these countries. Mahathir halted it for very reason that he couldn’t derive benefits for himself from this project . The most sly once PM of Malaysia . He sold the country for his and his cronies to benefit but the country remains as it was in the 70s .

Sultan offered his land at no cost for RTS

Mahathir has been fooling the malay to vote for him by using race and religion cards for more than 20 years and now the opposition party are doing the same thing as mathatir did

So with the RTS, how much more efficient would the transit between MY and SG be? Even with the channel bandwidth increased, bottlenecks at the immigration would persist. Daily travel using the RTS would still be a very gruelling endeavour.

Mahathir is jealous of Singapore's success. He will cancel any project with Singapore if he view that Singapore will gain from it, not withstanding that Malaysia will also benefit from it.

Nothing new about the delay as any project involving Malaysia means the standard procedure of backwardness n tardiness as they are well known for being sluggish n lackluster. The difference in the economic wealth of the 2 countries say it all.

Suggestion : each side provide electric bike rentals for those working. This is the major problem in the mornings and evenings.

I have travel to my but the worst is the queue at the check point

Hope this time the project will succeed.

Is the RTS scalable to meet future passenger growth? 10,000 pax per hr?

Malaysia. The first five letters of the country tells you where it is going.

So glad that at last this LRT/MRT will be materialize. A great gift for both brother nations n also Toon M the toad can see it before he goes to Hell...🙏🙏🙏

This RTS should have been built 30 years ago after 1991 memorandum signing. More than 1 billion trips have been inconvenienced. A few billion manhours have been wasted.

We already had a ktm rail link but politicians allowed it to rot instead of improving it.

Atok can never come close to late Lee Kuan Yew in term of brain power that's why he was so jealous of Singapore progress by leap and bound.

Tun Mahathier is jealous of Singapore successful 😊

HSR was not cancelled by Mahathir but by Muhyiddin

Indian decentant Mahathir is a fake Malay but likes to play racial and religion issue to show he is the Malay hero. When he confront S'pore, most Malay love his heroic acts

Anything to do with S'pore, Tun M will say 'NO'. He's back dated 70 yrs. He's still living in the 50'. Too bad.

Why blame Dr. M when Singapore once rejected the proposed bridge to replaced the old causeway linking Singpore to Johor Baru city. Also why Singapore motorists do not use the second bridge build by Malaysia to Johor Baru at Tuas entry chekpoint.

laos hsr many times longer than rts link n completed in 3 years smoothly. rts link is so short 3/4 years to complete. very uncertian able complete on schdule.

We know Najib has some form of kickback from this joint venture. That is why it was temporarily stopped until it is filtered from the actual cost and not bloated amounting to billions. We know how corruptions works here in Malaysia. The people are not blind paying GST on behalf of ex PM decisions to cover his own debt for 1MDB.

Shortest distance cost far more then other countries between Spore and Johore for a few Km when Spore chose another contractor costing $40.7B as alleges compared to Indonesia, Philippines and Malaysia why?

Mahatir and family will never be held avvountable

Paid a million ringgit in fine. Now another overspend. Why not spend money to improve the old bridge. Furthermore, how many travel by foot

The RTS capacity is way too low to make travel easier. But it will make retiring johor much easier. Looking forward to more nursing homes in the future for me 😂

Y so many hiccups on mutual cooperation and obviously beneficial for the benefit to the people of both countries ? The selfish and envy of clearly incapable Mahathir. The disaster for Msia !

Every day, about 300,000 people cross the causeway to work in Singapore. The RTS will move 10,000 passengers PER HOUR. It seems modest. So, likely the RTS will be overcrowded/overloaded/over demanded at Bt Chagar running into Singapore in the morning, and empty on the return journey in the morning. Then when people realise the RTS's capacity is modest, they will return to their own mode of transport (motorcycles). The causeway will see a slight (30,000?) drop in traffic (assuming rush hour from 6 am to 9 am). But pretty soon, the planners will realise that the RTS capacity is too low for the morning rush hour. The RTS, based on the capacity of 10,000 passengers per hour, is not likely to be a game changer. Maybe if it can move 50,000 passengers per hour... The real game changer is if Malaysia and Singapore can have a passport-free/borderless crossing between Johor and Singapore. BUT... it would likely mean that a de facto "border" or at least immigration checkpoint will have to be established at Johor's border with the Northern states. Because, once a Malaysian (or any nationality for that matter) crosses into Johor, they can in effect cross into Singapore without further checks. So if they cross form say Pahang into Johor, they are effectively also applying to enter Singapore. So Singapore will have to set up a CIQ at Johor's "borders", and Malaysia/Johor must allow Singapore to do so. Will they? And you see at our Immigration checkpoints, there will be police on standby to enforce any immigration laws that are broken. Will Malaysia let Singapore police on their land, up to the border with other states? Or will Malaysian/Johor Police enforce Singapore Immigration laws? All those are questions that will need to be sorted out. As Johoreans (or other Malaysians living in Johor) will now find it easy to work in Singapore, while staying in Johor, Singapore can draw on the labour in Johor. We have a shortage of nurses? More Johor nurses are willing to work in Singapore hospitals now. Maybe we will end up draining the staff from Johor Hospitals. Maybe a few Johor hospitals will have to close due to lack of nurses and even doctors? But Johor Hospitals can fight back - attracting Singapore patients with lower costs. OR Singapore nursing homes and aged care facilities may move to or open branches in Johor with cheaper land, and cheaper labour, and the relatives of patients can easily visit them (because passport-free/borderless). Not because of the RTS.

Mahatir do not want to benefit both malaysian and other travellers wants maximum inconvinence to all travellers .

Reminds us of the crooked bridge construction that was suspended .. by crooked minds ha2 that caused huuge losses.

Government servant difficult to own house in JB. Houses would be snatch by singaporean and malaysian working in singapore. Working in jb carnt match salary in singapore

2018 is a PH government. It is baseless to simply blame Mahathir. It is a more Johor-Singapore link instead of Malaysia-Singapore link. Many factors involved including capability of the new Malaysian Govt, State influence etc. The failure of the earlier 'Crooked Bridge' can be used as an example.

Mahathir has caused so much hardship to Malaysians.

RTS + SEZ 🇸🇬🇲🇾👍✌️🙏

The RTS link benefits the Singaporeans immensely. They can get away from the little red dot that is densely crowded by taking up residence in JB or spend all their time in JB whenever they want to.

Both countries’ citizens will benefit tremendously. JB will benefit and exceed KL’s GDP easily but it’s also one of the reasons KL politicians don’t want. Singapore would benefit from Malaysia’s workforce manpower, etc etc… In fact, it’s better to have the trains go all the way to Penang, then to Thailand etc etc… The possibilities are endless, maybe even connect or integrate with 1 Belt 1 Road. I’d like to just take a train to go KL for business rather than flying or driving. Unfortunately, too much politics and corruptions.

After a short period, things would be all right by.....,

In the first place, the long term, cross border RTS and HSR infrastructure projects should be under design, build, owned & operate (DBOO) bidding model, where viability must be worked out first. Otherwise, it is a no go. That they will not have any government linked entities involved in operation other than overseeing the tendering and awarding process, collecting taxes and regulations. Let the private sector plans and finances the projects such that no government subsidy is necessary other than land allocation. It is unwise to have politicians involved where election may result in a change of government, not so the private sector. The RTS link construction is now far ahead and chances of being cancelled physically is very remote. The next set of issues on operation and determination of fare price will have to be resolved based on market principles of P&L by the two governments, which if left to a single private commercial entity would be easier to manage. The best is yet to be.

Let's hope there is no change of leadership on both side.

Since it’s going to be seamless, then Malaysians should be paid Malaysian rate

I totally agree with you bro 😎

TM is under investigation for the obvious. RTS Link could be one of them.

Partially singapore will own johor in the future

Good to have alternative route over causeway, but this video is overly promising about the conveniences

Easy to build,calm inlet river . 😅😅😢

JUST A SIMPLE TRANSIT PROJECT WHAT IS SO DIFFICULT ? ? ? ?

This RTS project could have been completed this year 2024 if not because of one old man 's selfishness and folly. It's agonizing to see thousands of man and women, young and old still struggling crossing the the causeway especially during the weekends! Life could have been much better now but we still have to endure for another three more years!

🇸🇬🇲🇾👍✌️🙏

This RTS is build for Malaysia laborers to commute daily between two boarders. It will not bring much effect to tourism. Only small percentage of tourist will travel from Singapore crossing boarder to JB. In terms of property market it was the JB property agent who are so excited and predicting their own future growth. The true fact was not like that. Only small percentage of investors buying the property in JB. Why would Singaporean move and stay in JB? Nothing cheap is JB . Poor road conditions, crime rate is average but not particularly safe, infrastructure are poorly maintain, poor road planning. Everything will be the same even after the RTS completion. Just causing more traffic jam.

To be honest, Mahathir is Singapore's second hero after the late Mr Lee. Without him fucking up Malaysia, we could not have made it.

yes kl to singapore. to batam to jakarta

Actually that vrry old Mamak-til (VOM) had been causing trouble sll the eay the project want to start because he cannot wallop from the project ss Sinagapore r not hiving in yo his ulterior motive. That why Mamak-til had been installing riad block ss result of it.

He is a doctor do his prescription is always right 8:35 😂

This is typical Mahathir character when dealing with Singapore, if project were to favor Malaysia 95% Singapore only got 5%,he would rather not agree to it to carry out. He knows Malaysia can't compete but he would rather not let Singapore gain a little bit either. He do not mind being called a looser.

Now 1 SGD= 3.54 MYR. Mamak Sakau just not interested in enhancing the value of MYR so that It's 1 SG$ = 1MYR like before ... 50 years ago before Mamak Sakay reigned Malaysia for 22 years and 22 months... and reducing the figure of National debt amounting to RM 1,500,000,000,000. Every Malaysian baby born, automatically owes a debt of RM50,000 and rising. Mamak Sakau, his family members and cronies must be held responsible for our babies' debts. Confiscate all Mamak Sakau, his family members and cronies' plundered $ to pay for the babies' debts.

mahathir will never agrees on any project if he didn't get a hefty cut,that old man is a crook

Mamak Sakau cancelled the RTS link to preserve the money so that he can sakau the money at the expense of convenience of Malaysia and Singaporean peoples. Mamak Sakau is a liability of Malaysia which must be sent to S. Buloh and rots there.

With Malaysia famous flip flop ways of doing almost everything, it will be a miracle if this finaly works

This is nothing shocking when cooperation with Malaysia.

Just Singapore to JB benefits who ?

it's all about gaining clout and not sharing the glory

Who was the Finance Minister when PH came to power after Najib's govenment lost in 2018?

More than a target.for both countries

Mahathir is crying because he was unable to have his wish fulfilled - to build a crooked bridge

M'sia has never been a safe place.

So short & too slow..... very disappointed with Malaysia ???

Mr 10% is’nt happy with RTS coz his cronies don’t make money.

He is stumbling block to Johor progressive 🎉😂

New Era for Bangsa Johor 2024-2029. Bandaraya Johor Bahru, Bandraya Iskandar Puteri, Bandaraya Pasir Gudang. Future 2024-2029 Bandaraya Kulai, Bandaraya Maharani (Bandaraya Diraja), Bandaraya B-Pahat, Bandaraya Kluang.

Sudah lah sick of his antic be proud of your race you are a mamak so be it

wait another 10 years...

What sea and strong winds . It’s an inland straits plus get ur facts right.

Malaysia should proceed with the high speed rail between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur instead of the east coast rail link which will bring less economic benefits to Malaysia.

dear dr mahathir, pls just move on already

If mahathir, has the compass😢for his people who r tirelessly commuting da😢across borders, he shouldn’t have terminated the project due to his emotions ily

Tun M want to gave the projects to his cronies and son however sadly it's open tender
