新柔捷运计划一波三折,原定于2024年底通车,再出现变故,已经确定无法如期通车。 暂代交通部长职务的维文医生,3月7日在国会拨款委员会辩论有关交通部开支预算时提到,新柔捷运项目由于进度落后,已经确定无法如期通车。 有关消息的宣布,令网民纷纷表示失望。 维文强调,新加坡在新马双边关系方面保持不变态度,我国将维护国际法,并尊重国际协定的神圣性。 马国未肯定合资伙伴 他指出,尽管新加坡曾经多次清楚向马来西亚表达,要遵守公开招标委任列车服务营业者的双边协定,但是马来西亚方面却一直没有确认合资伙伴,因此两国目前需要进行公开招标。 2月28日,马来西亚已经第四度要求延后截止日期到3月31日。 马国政府也曾要求两国在新隆高铁项目暂停期间,讨论日后的计划,但是维文表示截至目前仍未获得马国的任何相关提议。 维文表示,我国试图取得双赢,并且注重合理性和具建设性的解决方案。
