100 years of the Johor-Singapore Causeway

This year marks 100 years since the Johor-Singapore Causeway was officially opened. Stretching just over a kilometre, it is a symbol of close ties, bilateral relations and people-to-people connections. With Singapore and Malaysia expected to further improve connectivity and tighten business links, CNA's Leong Wai Kit looks at how the areas at both ends of the Causeway – Woodlands and Johor Bahru – are keeping up with the momentum. A/P Diganta Das was interviewed to share his views on the urban development trends, prices, rent and how these may impact both countries.
