only malaysia side can "feel" the high speed 

Passport stamping should be done at Jurong East for both Malaysia/Singapore customs for smooth operation of the HSR, similar to the arrangement for KTM at Tanjong Pagar. It would be silly for trains to have a long stop at tuas or tanjong kupang to get passports stamped.

nice    can go singapore in 90mins

HSR cost per kilometre for systems and track is US$10 million.

“This means, for a total length of 350km, the systems and track workS would cost RM15 billion. Civil infrastructure cost is about three times more than the systems and track works so we are looking at RM45 billion.

“We also estimate that there should be at least 60 four-car train sets, with 30 sets each to serve the express and transit services. The cost to purchase the 60 sets would be about RM5 billion.

“These are the current estimates for the HSR project based on today’s market price for raw materials and the value of the ringgit versus the US dollar,” sources said.

European companies and consortia dominated the Request for Information (RFI) exercise for the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail project, according to Singapore and Malaysian transport authorities.

A total of 98 submissions were received, including 14 from East Asia firms and 13 from Malaysian firms. The companies and consortia ranged from those in the civil and construction and operator sectors to advisory and technical consultancies, according to a joint press release by Singapore's Land Transport Authority (LTA) and Malaysia’s Suruhanjaya Pengangkutan Awam (SPAD).
