Chances are it will not be built in next 10 years. Malaysia is in deficit and cannot afford this mega-project.

Exactly. And with the RM devalued, the cost of project has probably gone up.

To be frank, I think Singapore is not too keen. Most HSR reports appear in Malaysia media and mentioned mostly by Malaysia politicians. In Singapore, the reference to HSR is rare.

High-speed rail project may be delayed
Nov 4, 2014

Singapore’s Ministry of Transport said it will discuss with Malaysia “its assessment that realistically the project may take beyond 2020 to complete”, reported the media.

The statement follows a Bloomberg interview of Malaysia’s Land Public Transport Commission Chairman Syed Hamid Albar, in which he said the high-speed rail (HSR) project may need six to seven years to complete once construction commences by 2016.

This implies a delay of two to three years beyond the 2020 deadline earlier announced by Malaysia Prime Minister Najib Razak and his Singapore counterpart Lee Hsien Loong. Notably, the rail link was unveiled by the two leaders in 2013 and is expected to reduce travel time between the two cities to 90 minutes.

Syed Hamid explained that there may be problems with the original timeline since the governments may have to consider other factors in addition to construction.

“I suspect the (Malaysia) government is at the stage where they are mulling over the financing of this project. How are they going to do this without affecting the target on fiscal deficit and achieving a balanced budget by 2020?” he said.

Commenting on Syed Hamid’s statements, Singapore’s Transport Ministry said: “As far as we know, we are still working towards project completion by 2020 as agreed by the two Prime Ministers. We have not received any indication from Malaysia that it intends to delay the project beyond 2020. Our feasibility studies are on track to be completed next year and bilateral discussions with Malaysia are ongoing.”

Latest news from Singapore side:

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singap...0.html?cid=FBSG

SINGAPORE: The Republic's terminus for the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur High Speed Rail will be located at Jurong East.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced this on Tuesday (May 5) after the Leaders' Retreat with his Malaysian counterpart Najib Razak.

Jurong East was chosen as it dovetails with Singapore's overall plans to transform the area into a second Central Business District, according to a statement.

Malaysia had earlier identified five terminus stations: Kuala Lumpur (at Bandar Malaysia), Seremban, Melaka, Muar, Batu Pahat, Nusajaya and the final stop in Singapore.

The High Speed Rail project, which was agreed upon in 2013, has been described by both leaders as a "game changer". It aims to cut down on travel time between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to just 90 minutes.

The Prime Ministers also noted that the initial target of completion of the project - which was the year 2020 - needs to be re-assessed due to the scale and complexity of the project. No new time frame has been provided.

Both Malaysia and Singapore have been in active discussion on the technical, operational, security and other aspects of the High Speed Rail. Both sides have also come to in-principle agreements on a few areas, and both leaders reaffirmed that both countries are fully committed to the success of the project.

HSR very beneficial to SG and MY.

The talent in KL will take hsr go SG work, contribute to SG economy.
They back once a week also not an issue due to pay in sgd.

I predict the ticket would be $200 myr, which is sgd80 only.
To the talent, sap sap sui price.

Can buy property in KL as well.

And SG fellow come here travel, but thing claimed back gst. Cheap shopping heaven.

SG fellow also buy a property and retire here.

progressively cook up KL property price

Expected the delay as nothing is confirmed as at now, how to finish in 5 years when involve malaysia government.

same goes to LRT 3, MRT 2 project.
Why just buying projects near existing line ? like what happens due to changes of alignment for MRT 2, really give a heart attack for those just vested in Alam Damai and Pandan area.

HSR beneficial to MY. To SG, not so clear. HSR will open an avenue for Malaysian borns to go back home to live and spend, slowing down the SG FnB, retail, housing markets (which are already very slow last year).

Yes... Everyone happy with the announcement. At least there is progression ... So, wave on property is going to happen soon.

Good news. The HSR project now move into a new phase..seems quite firm already by both governments
