Passport stamping should be done at Jurong East for both Malaysia/Singapore customs for smooth operation of the HSR, similar to the arrangement for KTM at Tanjong Pagar. It would be silly for trains to have a long stop at tuas or tanjong kupang to get passports stamped.

Yes, there should be the right location

You mean Tram connecting HSR station with ERL station? Then the MRT station should also be separated from ERL station for Tram to work.

Direct distance is about 10KM. The tram is too slow for transit

Should be at outskirt area, possible air keroh o Batu berendam

HSR is very political. Singapore prefers Japan due to reliability issue and also anti-China. Malaysia prefers China due to cost and dedak. South Korea came in as 3rd option in case both MY and SG can't come to conclusion.

I'm sure you know how kiasuland works. They surely have rights to the project eventhough the rail is only 15km in their land

The scenarios are different. or construction of building, China contractors are fast yet could produce reasonably good quality. Train is a different ballgame and safety is the priority. In this aspect, Japan has a much better record than China

I have been in construction industry for 20 years and I have been involved in different types of tenders. Frankly speaking, tender process for many projects in Malaysia is for show or just for price comparison purpose.

What type of industry are you involved?

I'm also a consultant. Are you more experience than me?

Many people staying in Seremban and commute daily on weekdays to work in KL/PJ for the same reason.

My friend takes 1.5-2 hours 1 way to commute between Seremban 2 and PJ, sometimes by KTM-LRT and sometimes by car. According to him, it is still acceptable as his family could enjoy semi-d and he could also enjoy during weekends

He did it for 20 years already.

Logically it should follow the current route of KLIA Express

Are you sure? Have you rides on China HSR before?

I have been ridden the following HSR

1. China HSR Xian from/to Luoyang, 380km per way
2. Taiwan HSR from Tai Chung to Taipei, about 170km
3. Japan Shinkansen from Shin-Osaka to Tokyo, 552km

I would say there are hardly any different in terms of ride quality for the 3 HSR, the 3 HSR also on time. China HSR is travelling at higher speed, just below 300kmh. However, the speed is not so consistent as the speed dropped below 200kmh at certain stretches, whereas speed for Japan bullet train is quite consistent throughout.

Both are suitable, even South Korea's KTX is also suitable for KL-SG HSR. I would say China has advantage due to cost factor, speed of construction and also close relationship with our current government. China HSR is already up to par in terms of safety, and there is no major event after major accident at Wen Zhou in 2011.

Singapore is classified as pro-America anti-China and I'm sure they will exercise their rights in preventing award of HSR contract to China. Award of HSR contract to party other than China will also create a major dent to China's dream of HSR connecting Singapore to Kunming.

I would say both governments have Veto Power, regardless of % of shares

The project may be suspended until both parties agree or there may be change of plan, e.g. moving Singapore HSR station from Jurong East to Tuas Checkpoint. In that case, Malaysia will have the say
