PETALING JAYA: The Sultan of Johor has expressed regret over reports suggesting that ownership of a plot of land involved in the construction of the Rapid Transit System (RTS) to link Johor Bahru and Singapore has been transferred to him.
Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar said he has never been informed of any change of title for the 4.5 hectare plot, one of five plots which were part of a land swap deal between the state and the federal government.
“But, His Majesty Sultan Johor has decreed that if indeed his land in Bukit Chagar is part of the RTS project, he is prepared to surrender it to the government free of charge,” said a statement issued by the sultan’s private secretary Jama Mohd Noah.
“On condition that the RTS project is resumed immediately because His Majesty understands the difficulty faced by the people going to and from Singapore,” the statement added.
