guess they not dare to take the >300 speed one

Rumours that Malaysia and Singapore will jointly finance the High-Speed Rail linking the two countries is untrue, the Ministry of Finance-owned firm MyHSR Corp Sdn Bhd has said.

Mohd Nur Ismal Mohamed Kamal, CEO of the firm tasked with ensuring the HSR project’s delivery, brushed off rumours that the Malaysian government needs to issue bonds jointly guaranteed by the Singaporean government to finance the bullet train project.

Responding to previous speculation that Malaysia favoured China as the bullet train provider for the cross-country project while Singapore leaned more towards the Japanese or European firms, Mohd Nur Ismal also repeated that the firm is still seeking for the best option.

INTEREST in the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) project is growing even as the two governments iron out the details. Besides Asian rail-related companies, their European counterparts are keen to participate in the cross-border project as well.

A group of European rail companies — including Siemens AG (Germany), Alstom SA (France) and Spain’s Talgo SA and Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles SA (CAF) — is understood to have made overtures and preparing to put in a bid, industry sources tell The Edge.

Out of the more than a hundred companies that replied to the RFI, 14 were shortlisted for further questions. “Some government officials heard of the European consortium’s expression of interest after the RFI candidates were shortlisted,” another source adds.

The four companies in the group have the requisite expertise in both rolling stock and infrastructure. They have expertise in the HSR business and overlapping skill sets. CAF and Talgo specialise in rolling stock design, manufacturing and maintenance. Alstom has expertise in track laying, electrification and supply and installation of electromechanical material in stations and depots. Siemens is known for its signalling systems and its trains are used in Spain, Russia and China, to name a few countries.
