South China Morning Post, 12/11/16:


 

Do Malaysia and Singapore really need a high-speed rail link?

 

AS MALAYSIA AND Singapore prepare to ink their agreement on a high-speed rail link between Kuala Lumpur and the city state, Japan has signalled its keenness on one of its engineering companies securing the contract, and voiced hope that the process – in which Chinese companies will also compete – will be transparent and “based on international standards.”

Singapore and Malaysia Terminate High Speed Rail Project

 

  • Delayed rail link was to connect Kuala Lumpur with city-state
  • Link would have cut travel time down to about 90 minutes

 

A multi-billion-dollar high-speed rail link between Singapore and Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur has been terminated.

 

The two countries were unable to reach an agreement on the project after Malaysia sought changes because of the pandemic’s economic impact, according to a joint statement Friday. Malaysia will have to compensate Singapore for costs already incurred, the city-state’s transport ministry said in a separate statement.

Malaysia will explore all possible options for the project, including keeping it within the country, Mohamed said. Local media in Malaysia reported in November that Malaysia was considering ending the line in its southern city of Johor Bahru rather than in Singapore.
