JOHOR BARU, Malaysia -- Malaysia and Singapore have agreed to commence construction of a light-rail connection in early 2021, reviving a project that was delayed by Mahathir Mohamad's former government over cost concerns.
Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, who pushed Mahathir out of office earlier this year, and his Singaporean counterpart Lee Hsien Loong met on a causeway that links their countries on Thursday for a signing ceremony.
