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).

i dont see any difference with the main portion of singapore residents who are from mainland c.

read up on the woes of the taiwan hsr. i believe same situation will come to kl-sg hsr if not careful. the cost of the hsr is enormous and yes although it will have large benefits, if the income generated from hsr cant even go near to covering operating expenses, it will be in deep shit. and SG is very clever to keep holding out now: they want MY to bear the bulk of the costs in case this happens. will be a bigger bailout than MAS. tw hsr over these years already bailout worse than MAS.

i highly doubt cina will bear the operating costs

about nine years ago, in 2007, conglomerate YTL and its technical partner, Germany’s Siemens AG, put in a proposal to build the HSR or bullet train linking Kuala Lumpur to Singapore at a cost of only RM8 billion. How the price of the HSR has escalated to the current level of RM70 billion is not clear.

the price we pay for procrastination.

maybe also that Siemens train not as high speed as this one. older tech. maybe.

yup standard hsr average around that speed. doubt even cina gg to spend so much to give us ultra high speed type.

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.

must have monthly pass below 1k. earn sgd 2k at least then 1k for commute shld be no prob unless ringgit suddenly strengthen. labu (seremban) station integrated with ktm labu?

i mean the station la...interchange integrated

agreed

ytl not in favour with pm. end of story

zentul?? mana info ini datang dari? it was always BM...

12 cars then they should have 2 cars which feature super small seats for super economy class.

because its to conenct 2 financial hubs. not really so much for tourists

not much point connect to penang. they wont have reason to use it. they better use flight which is cheaper. they wont need seamless connection because is not business trips. kl to sg hsr is maint for corporate stuff as i think la.

neh its too expensive for normal use boss

thats cheap...hsr die lo

i very skeptical on the hsr la..coz run the numbers...if charge enough to be economically viable no one is going to take it. we dont want another drain on rakyat money. see many hsr arnd the world d is all losing money. need bailout after bailout.
