Malaysia-Singapore Points of Agreement of 1990
- Malaysia-Singapore Points of Agreement of 1990
Malaysia-Singapore Points of Agreement of 1990 (POA) is an agreement between the two Southeast Asian countries regarding the future of railway land owned by the Malaysian government through Malayan Railways (Keretapi Tanah Melayu or KTM) in Singapore. It was signed between former Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew and former Finance Minister of Malaysia Tun Daim Zanuddin on behalf of respective countries on November 27, 1990.
Under the agreement, KTM would vacate its station at Tanjong Pagar and move to Bukit Timah while all KTM's land between Bukit Timah and Tanjong Pagar would revert to Singapore. Railway land at Tanjong Pagar would be handed over to a private limited company for joint development of which its equity would be split 60% to Malaysia and 40% to Singapore.
This agreement has been one of the few issues that are making relationship between the two countries less than warm. The key contention is the interpretation of the agreement. Singapore insists that the agreement is in effect immediately after it was signed by both parties. Moreover, Singapore states that once Woodlands is connected to its mass rail transit system, KTM has to move out from Tanjong Pagar to Bukit Timah within five years. Malaysia on the other hand takes the position that the agreement would only be effective when Malaysia decides to move its station from Tanjong Pagar.
