Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke has commented on the launch of the RTS-Link. A launch date in January was considered technically possible. However, the minister preferred a later date to allow for completion of safety assessments and regulatory approvals.

A new launch date in mid-February is now planned, which is expected to provide a buffer for smooth operations. The minister's decision aims to ensure that all necessary preparations are in place before the launch.

Further details on the RTS-Link launch and the minister's plans are available from the source. The delay is intended to provide a safety net for the successful operation of the RTS-Link.
