Toll charges at Second Link to go down by 30% from Aug 1
Motorists using the Second Link got some good news from the Prime Ministers of Malaysia and Singapore on Tuesday.
Speaking at a news conference after their meeting in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday, the leaders announced that both countries will reduce their toll charges at the Second Link by 30 per cent with effect from August 1.
A hint that toll charges would be reduced substantially was made when Prime Ministers Lee Hsien Loong and Najib Razak met for their retreat in Singapore on May 24.
Another major development announced during that retreat was the land swap arrangement following the decision to relocate the Tanjong Pagar Railway station to the Woodlands train checkpoint by 1 July 2011.
In a joint statement, the leaders said they discussed the land swap issue and Singapore's offer was conveyed to Prime Minister Najib.
They had a productive meeting and discussed some initial responses.
They then agreed to study the matter further and to meet again in three months, after Hari Raya Adilfitri, to finalise the land swap decisions.
Prime Minister Najib said he will visit Singapore with the final decision.
