build the high speed train between Ipoh - KL makes more sense than KL - Singapore. Live in Ipoh but work in KL.

ipoh already have ets. ipoh is not a major finance hub like kl or sg by any stretch of the imagination.

yes many will use the train everyday. air is 50 mins travel but double that at least for travel to airport, check in , walking to gate, etc.

By flight, total times spent will likely 4 hrs. It is achievable ard 2.5-3 hrs by HSR. Only the ticket cost is unknown.

Not to worry. Ur dream will come true once the KL-SG HSR successfully built and operated.

China got better dream to link SG-MY-Thai-Cambodia-Vietnam-Loas and mainland.

anything goes too fast in malaysia is dangerous.

Next in line after KL-SG, should be KL-PG since PG economy is huge. Ipoh will be the in-between stop which will turn out to be good property investment by then. Ipoh can serve both PG and KL as satellite city catering home owner who do not want to live in crowded cities.

Confirm will.

I will be surprised if high speed train linking PG and KL happens during my life time....

Boss, if u r too old mb la.
If at 20++, sure got chance to take a ride one...

if you are 20++ and cina.....better to prepare to balik tongsan......you are not exactly welcome here....

Well, if China wins KL-SG HSR, chance is they will want to entice Malaysia to invest on KL-BKK HSR since they are planning train connection from China to SG long time ago. If it not happen within next decade, perhaps after 2030 will might see the possibilities of it.

I don't think you're that old to wait for that, right?

Since early 2000, there are proposals to connect China via Kunming all the way to Singapore. There are several routes proposed;

China - Vietnam - Cambodia - Thailand - Malaysia - Singapore

China - Vietnam - Laos - Thailand - Malaysia - Singapore

China - Myanmar - Thailand - Malaysia - Singapore

among the proposed route.

HSR can use standard gauge to operate, like TGV and can share lines with normal trains service and cargo trains.

Current problem is most southeast asia lines are metre/narrow gauge. The cost to convert this lines is really expensive. If there is a country who can solve the problem, it is China.

Easy to get combodia ladies as wife in the future... hahaha

LOL....muturely, bride/wife can runaway easily using HSR...To every aksi, there is an eq and opposide re-aksi...LOL

Kawan,
Thailand already way ahead compared to us on the construction of HSR. You can read and view all about it here.

Yes, China got financial strength to solve the issue. But, money is not everything. Any political changed will impact China to materialize the dream. Therefore, who wanted to see and use the services at least needs to survive another 30-40 yrs...
