Indonesia starts construction of first high-speed railway
The high-speed train system - running at 350 kilometres per hour - is expected to be completed by 2018 and will be operational early 2019.

Wow so fast? Our HSR we are still talking about it???

last Oct they awarded to China - Indon Consortium while Malaysia one, still under process "choosing" the 14 Bid

350km/hr is operation speed which is much lower than design speed it can push. I think our HSR is about that speed isn't it, if travel time is 90mins.

If the train constantly travel at 350kmph then by 1 hour is should reach Spore oredi (assuming distance between KL & Spore is around 350km). I think maybe the travelling speed will be slower around 230-250kmph so that it will reach by in 90min.

i'd think govt would seriously reconsider this project because of the bad economy..

Beijing’s infrastructure projects worldwide are lubricated by its commonsensical modes of financing. When China agreed to fund the dual-track Bankok-Nong Khai, Bangkok-Map Ta Phut, and Kaeng Khoi-Map Ta Phut routes in Thailand, loan repayments were provisioned in the form of rice and rubber!

Such flexible financing schemes also wean the region away from a dollar dependency, and ring-fences long-term projects against the vagaries of currency fluctuation.

The Kuala Lumpur-Singapore link is part of a wider Southeast Asian HSR blueprint, which stretches from Kunming, China to Singapore via Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia. Nearly all regional HSR projects involve Chinese assistance.

The next phase of the Southeast Asian spur may entail a HSR line for the northern half of the existing Bangkok-Singapore rail link. The primary obstacle here happens to be a secessionist movement in southern Thailand. However, judging by China’s track record in global infrastructure development, Beijing may temper geopolitical bumps in a way other entities may not!

Faster Chinese trains will mesh with Beijing’s ‘Belt & Road’ initiative that ultimately links infrastructure, trade and investment networks throughout Asia, Africa and Europe. The Iron Silk Road is therefore a priority project for Asia.

According to the World Bank, emerging economies have only invested or earmarked $400 billion on infrastructure projects. Asia alone, however, needs $15.8 trillion in infrastructure funding over the next 15 years to maintain its growth trajectory.

Based on Nanyang Siang Pau, HSR Labu will not be built at KTM Labu (10th miles of Labu) or Tiroi (6th miles of Labu) but located between 7th to 9th miles of Labu. Windfall for Sime Darby as that land belong to them, same goes to IJM & Matrix.

根据《南洋商报》探悉，隆新高铁芙蓉站并不会建在现有马来亚铁道公司（KTM）拉务6英里半的迪镭站（Tiroi）与拉务10里的拉务站（Labu），而会在此两站之间辟设一个新的高铁转站（Intermediate Stops），会在7里至9里之间。

由于高铁站附近的地点均为森那美集团（Sime Darby）拥有的油棕园区，在高铁站的择址决定后，该集团将会重新规划该范围区的地段发展，及在该范围区打造综合型城镇发展。

目前，该集团在拉务4里发展Ainsdale城镇（Bandar Ainsdale），该项计划已给拉务区带来翻天覆地的发展，成为继IJM置地发展的芙蓉新城、金群利集团的达城之后，另一个备受瞩目的大型城镇发展策略区。

juz as planned

Sime Darby, IJM and Matrix with the additional help of HSR will make this area boom boom boom.

all 3 companies have one thing is common?

u know I know

Shit that is in the middle of no where. Why can't they just upgrade Seremban station or use the proposed Bandar Ainsdale KTM station. Who the hell in Seremban will travel to KM7-9 Labu? That is a bladdy kampung and forests/oil palm lands

agreed

if they build at exisitng old seremban station, all these sime darby groups where got more money to dig?

guess have shuttle bus services to Seremban Town which might be given to some crony

By the time HSR is completed by 2022, Sime Darby may have turned Labu into a modern township like what Matrix has done to Bandar Sri Sendayan and IJM for Seremban 2, population at these area should exceed 200,000 then.

Another reason they chose Labu over Seremban may be due to land acquisition cost is much higher in Seremban.

Seremban town already has so many amenities, give chance to other outskirts area lah.

$$$ problem ma..

good point
