PETALING JAYA (June 20): Disputes over the prices of land to be acquired for the development of the Johor Baru-Singapore rapid transit link (RTS) may delay the project.

Johor Chief Minister Datuk Osman Sapian said owners of some of the parcels are dissatisfied with the valuations offered, reported The Star.

For instance, owners of land in Kim Teng Park – Johor Baru’s oldest housing estate – would have to be paid over RM300 million based on current market value, but they disagree with the valuation.

The infrastructure project will also need more land than initially planned, affecting more land owners, he added.

Osman said the RTS would help to relieve the Causeway’s daily heavy traffic.

The RTS will link the Bukit Chagar station in Johor Baru to Woodlands North in Singapore.
