Who need KL-SIN HSR when u can hop in the comfort of your own car and the computer will drive u automatically from KL to Singapore through North South Highway .
Door to door some more and no need to carry heavy luggage up and down the HSR train.

I am just kidding only la. Dont blast me on this.

The point I want to make is.....by the time HSR is built in god knows 5-10 years time.. commuters will potentially have other alternatives like auto car which allow them to hop in the car and 'relax' while the car drive them to Singapore, Penang, Kuantan, Terrenganu etc LOL

South Korea will be presenting the most suitable project cost and planning in direct talks with the Malaysian government in an effort to secure the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) project.

It will also be offering technology transfer by mid-June, said its Minister of Land Infrastructure and Transportation, Kang Ho-in.

Having experience in HSR implementation, he said South Korea was willing to share its technology with other developing countries.

+1

looking at the 1MBB scandal progress, wonder will this project continue after the official1 step down?

Japanese quality is better than china. Just look at new ktm komuter  coach from China... Material look cheap, glass all break

nope

unless tats really insider story from the project team, then i got nothing to say, cause from my personal experience dealing with SG government construction project , they always go for the lowest price one , the quality point scoring method on the pricing is way too heavier than other criteria , and i belip no one can go low price than china

unless china hsr got stupiak and get kick-out from the tender , else no chance other can win
