With the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone on the horizon, the Malaysian state wants to be a key regional investment destination, tapping into synergies with neighbouring Singapore, similar to how China’s Shenzhen leveraged the economic progress of its neighbour Hong Kong
It must first address the issue of worsening congestion and improve connectivity in and around the southern corridor, say experts
The state government, backed by Malaysia’s king, has a master plan to link up the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link with a proposed Light Rail Transit (LRT) system and a possibly revived High-Speed Rail (HSR) project to improve connections across the country
However some are questioning the concept’s financial viability given the exorbitant costs and the federal government’s other pressing priorities

JOHOR BAHRU: Diploma student Malani Jairaman felt desperate as she stood in line for 40 minutes at a stifling bus station in central Johor Bahru.
The 22-year-old who lives in the suburban town of Skudai can only afford RM5 (US$1.05) a day for transportation. The public bus service called myBas - operated by local operator Syarikat Handal Indah - is the only way she can travel to and from school.

However, over the last two years, she noticed that bus services have worsened. A 19km one-way trip which used to take an hour now takes close to two.
The buses are scheduled to move off from Johor Bahru Sentral at frequencies of 40 to 45 minutes but there are delays. Buses are also frequently stuck in traffic during peak hours.
Student Malani Jairaman has ambitions to work in Singapore one day. She hopes the connectivity issues can be resolved by then. (Photo: CNA/Zamzahuri Abas)
“We have no other choice. If there were alternatives like the LRT system in Kuala Lumpur, we would take it,” said Ms Malani, referring to the light rail transit network that connects Malaysia’s capital and its surrounding area.
Southern Johor’s transport woes are more than an everyday inconvenience for local residents.
As plans for a proposed Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (SEZ) gather pace, connectivity and ease of travel around Southern Johor, the rest of the country, and to Singapore, could determine if the state achieves its economic potential.A memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the SEZ was signed between Singapore’s Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong and Malaysia’s Minister of Economy Mohd Rafizi Ramli on Jan 11, with a full-fledged agreement expected to be signed by the end of the year.

I presume the hsr line will end at jurong east as proposed by PAP.
So forest City line lrt need not be linked to RTS currently under construction. But to jurong east. As I doubt many locals would want to stay too far from town.
And lrt from forest City extended to kukup, pontian and batu pahat turning it into a commuter/regional rail. Plus making jurong east a 2nd entry point relieving choking RTS between woodlands and jb.

Current Agung has a interest in not only forest City, but one of company bidding for high speed rail project.
