SINGAPORE: Nine contracts worth about RM1 billion (S$320 million) were recently awarded for systems works on the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link, said operator RTS Operations.

Malaysia’s Sapura Rail Systems was awarded the contract for the communications and integrated supervisory control systems.
