btw SG will never have high speed train because can never go up to speed. After few minutes, queue for passport stamping? 

HSR cost per kilometre for systems and track is US$10 million.

“This means, for a total length of 350km, the systems and track workS would cost RM15 billion. Civil infrastructure cost is about three times more than the systems and track works so we are looking at RM45 billion.

“We also estimate that there should be at least 60 four-car train sets, with 30 sets each to serve the express and transit services. The cost to purchase the 60 sets would be about RM5 billion.

“These are the current estimates for the HSR project based on today’s market price for raw materials and the value of the ringgit versus the US dollar,” sources said.

European companies and consortia dominated the Request for Information (RFI) exercise for the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail project, according to Singapore and Malaysian transport authorities.

A total of 98 submissions were received, including 14 from East Asia firms and 13 from Malaysian firms. The companies and consortia ranged from those in the civil and construction and operator sectors to advisory and technical consultancies, according to a joint press release by Singapore's Land Transport Authority (LTA) and Malaysia’s Suruhanjaya Pengangkutan Awam (SPAD).

myHSR CEO Mohd Nur Ismail Mohamed Kamal said the company was studying the US$68 billion (RM293 billion) California bullet train project, the 370km Las Vegas-Los Angeles railway network and the London-Birmingham Railway.

In addition, it is also looking at the Haramain link in Saudi Arabia and the Beijing-Moscow network, which is expected to be the world’s longest HSR line.

"There is strong interest from China for the KL-Singapore HSR development. I will not dispute any of their points such as their enthusiasm and localisation plan for the HSR development.

"As part of the Japan team, we want to cover all aspects of train operations, including operations and maintenance, not just selling trains," Hitachi president Toshiaki Higashihara told reporters in Tokyo yesterday.

"We want to work on delivering a whole package" for the Singapore-Malaysia HSR, he said. Hitachi makes bullet trains while Mitsubishi Heavy Industries manages the construction of high-speed train projects.
