两国商讨协议修改内容 新柔捷运项目展延至明年4月
我国将在明年4月底之前，签署三项有关新柔地铁系统的协议。
据交通部许文远在国会书面答复中透露，目前两国正在就马国的要求讨论，修改新柔地铁的双边协议，而马来西亚于今年10月29日要求展延（至2020年4月30日），我国也同意展延多六个月，商讨协议修改内容。
尽管马方已决定继续该项目，但仍未透露对协议的修改细节。
其三份协议包括修正协议、联营发展协议及、特许协议。其中联营发展协议与特许协议是原定于去年签订。
对此，马国交通部长陆兆福则表示，马新两国需要六个月的时间达致和认同期限，并非所谓的马方要求给予展延。
他表示，由于该计划需要修正，因此需要展开联合工程研究工作，而政府将会与我国协调成立联合咨询委员会，在所有协议的修正后，则会签约三份协议。
新柔捷运计划在希盟政府接管后，六次展延，其延期原因为马方需要检讨该项目的可行性与成本。
日前，马国要求展延新柔捷运系统（RTS）将期限延长至10月31日，马国首相表示，由于需优先处理前朝政府所欠下的债务，才会更需要时间做出规划。
