The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
The day is an announced one, not a year-end placeholder: Putrajaya has held to a 1 January 2027 start since Transport Minister Anthony Loke said it was "confident RTS Link will start on January 1, 2027", and English Wikipedia still carries "Planned opening: 1 January 2027". The latest check-in keeps it there - AsiaOne[2], 4 April 2026: the RTS Link "is on track for opening in January 2027 despite the ongoing global energy crisis" - after an earlier Singapore target of passenger service by December 2026.
The most recent word from the minister responsible, and the reason the pin keeps its January 2027 date rather than drifting: the link "is on track for opening in January 2027 despite the ongoing global energy crisis". It confirms the older 1 January 2027 commitment has not slipped, though it names the month rather than the day itself.[1]
Singapore's Ministry of Transport states the RTS Link is 'targeted to commence passenger service by December 2026,' a month earlier than the pin's stored January 1, 2027 date - consistent with the pin's 'delayed' status reflecting a still-shifting timeline.[1]
Malay Mail's own headline quotes Malaysian officials 'confident RTS Link will start on January 1, 2027,' an exact match for the pin's stored date, though voiced as a January 2024 confidence statement rather than a confirmed outcome.
Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
