If you only think like that kinda short sighted. Then we better give up our car proton and keep import oversea car since Malaysia market alone is not enough?

You think only Malaysian use? Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos can and even up to China. If all countries border manage to connect it. Logistics wise also save alot cost, not only for passangers use.

With the good connection will have more tourists and expats to come here or stay over. This also help retails, restaurants, mall business and many more. Taukehs earn more also willing to spend abit to deco her/his shop to attract more customers. Reno workers also can earn abit more and so on.. It's a chain effect.

How many potong cars have been exported to sg, Thailand, indon, etc in the last few years?

Do you know without heavy excise duty, how much car is cost? Have you calculate the amount of excise duty paid on cars each year? What one can do with these money?

So how about Australia holden car has been exported to other place this few years?

So this is Malaysia policy, so you don't drive car? If it's true, very good. Please use public transport like bus, grab car and mrt more to help Malaysia economy in public transport segment.

Comparing with failure like Holden will not make potong better but syok sendiri.

If without gomen support, potong would have insolvent long ago.

So holden from developed country and proton from developing country. So no syok?

Gomen why cannot support? So usa Gomen shouldn't support boeing and GM motor? So China Gomen shouldn't support hsr and all the infrastructure?

Infrastructure is different from car manufacturing.

you should find out how much has gomen supported potong since inception and how much excise duty car buyers have paid because of potong.

So you mean usa GM motor not car manufacturing?

HSR Project might be revisited when economy is more stable

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 25 (Bernama): The Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High-Speed Rail (HSR) project, which could have benefited property projects along its route, may be revisited by the government later, said CBRE | WTW group managing director Foo Gee Jen.

He opined that when the local economy becomes more stable, the government might decide to reconsider the project, however, at the moment, the priority is on combating COVID-19 and sustaining economic growth.

"I believe there will be a negative impact due to the cancellation, but I believe we need to prioritise where we put our money, such as for growth and sustainability.

"My take on the HSR (project) is (that it is) not being called off, but temporarily being put on the back burner. Something for us to revisit when the economy allows for it,” he said during the virtual media briefing on the Asia Pacific Real Estate Market Outlook 2021 report today.

Meanwhile, CBRE | WTW director Jonathan Lo said the cancellation would have a negative impact on most of the upcoming projects along the planned route and stations, specifically those which were meant to benefit from its spillover effects.

He said the western corridor would be most affected, noting that due to the closure of international borders, Iskandar Malaysia’s retail sector had been badly hit.

"The retail sector in Iskandar Malaysia is dependant on Singapore shoppers. The pandemic has resulted in salary cuts, as well as economic and financial instability.

"This is going to be a challenge for most of the local businesses, including (property) developers, as people are more hesitant to consider big-ticket purchases," he said.

On Jan 1, the Malaysia and Singapore governments jointly announced the cancellation of the 350-kilometre rail line project after failing to reach an agreement on the proposed changes by the Dec 31, 2020 deadline.

The bilateral agreement for the project’s development, signed with Singapore on Dec 13, 2016, was based on the aspiration for closer economic integration between the two countries.

Its construction was deferred until May 2020 after Malaysia’s 14th General Election, following a review of several of the government’s investment commitments,

The two governments later postponed the project for a second time to Dec 31, 2020. - Bernama

According to sources, five companies intend to bid for the new high-speed rail (HSR) project worth up to RM60 billion, and some are even discussing with potential partners to undertake the project.

The financial weekly "The Edge" reported that sources revealed that the five relevant listed companies are MMCCORP controlled by Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar and WCT Holdings (WCT, 9679, Main Board Construction) controlled by Tan Sri Lim Siew Choon), YTL Corporation (YTL, 4677, main board utility stocks), Malaysia Resources (MRCB, 1651, main board industrial stocks), and Tan Sri Vincent Tan's successful institutions (BJCORP, 3395, main board industrial stocks).

Among them, at least two companies have started negotiations with Chinese companies, another seems to be inclined to cooperate with Japanese consortiums, and the remaining two are waiting for the government to disclose more project details.

It is understood that Berjaya Corp has held high-level discussions with Sinohydro, while YTL is said to be in talks with Chinese rolling stock manufacturer CRRC as a potential partner for the high-speed rail project.

When asked about this matter, WCT Holdings, YTL Corporation and Success Corporation did not immediately respond.

Sources revealed that MMCORP currently intends to seek a Japanese partner, while MRCB and WCT Holdings are waiting for the government to announce clearer details.

However, the market speculates that Malaysia Resources (MRCB) has cooperated with China Communications Construction Group (CCCC) in the past, so it is expected to join forces again; in contrast, China Railway Construction (CRCC) also intends to find a local partner.

https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2023...ore-hsr-project

Is everybody here not waking up from day dream

Hoping that this will become a reality again...

Should be okay... Private sector driven projects

Expect participate from China 😁 and maybe royalty from the south state too...

Malaysia should participate in the China BnR which will link by rail from Sing all the way to China. the HSR and the ECRL will be a part of this. This will help spur the economy.

KUALA LUMPUR: The multi-billion ringgit Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high speed rail (KL-Singapore HSR) project, which was terminated in January 2021, has been revived.

HSR decision still pending as existing projects are a ‘priority’: Malaysia minister

Malaysia’s current focus is on completing and further developing its existing transport links, such as the Gemas-Johor Bahru electrified double-track rail project (Gemas-JB EDTP) and the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL).

Apart from focusing on the completion of its ongoing transport links, the government wants to prioritise less grandiose projects such as public transport, and getting people from point to point in their daily commutes.

Some RM750 million has been allocated for the public transport sector under Malaysia’s Budget 2025. This includes the procurement of a fleet of 895 electric buses for feeder services in the Greater Kuala Lumpur capital city area.
