Singapore businesses urged to adapt to new Johor rail link's economic impact

A new study by the Singapore Business Federation, Restaurant Association of Singapore, and Singapore Retailers Association proposes strategies for Singaporean businesses to capitalize on the upcoming Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link.
