Ercl cannot cancelled already.

Withdrawal fee is myr20bil.

MRT2 and LRT3 already too deep into construction already.
some changes still possible like maybe no station opening for Bandar Malaysia. line will just pass through without stopping. why stop at no man land right? who knows.

Better not to throw good money after bad. Rather loss $20b than $50b. $30b saved could spend on more useful infrastructure or tax cut.

Under the previous administration, they raise the toll price, but at the same time, raise the public transportation rates to make up for the construction costs for the MRT lines and the LRT extensions. The latter shouldn't be raised at all if the gov't wanted to encourage ppl to use them.

I wonder if the Pakatan administration will correct this by lowering the public transportation rates back to the earlier price. I hope that will be possible, but judging by the RM 1 trillion debt hanging over the heads of this administration, I doubt it will be anytime soon.

Will there any property wil drop price bcoz of mrt3 and HSR??

RM50bil cheaper alternative to KL-S'pore high speed rail by upgrading the present infrastructure

if this is the case to RM 20b, use existing KTM railway infrastructure
then is cannot call HSR, should name it " Fast" ETS

this what almost everyone wants..

ETS services using existing tracks (upgraded for higher speed)

there's many reason why najib insisted on HSR.. but one of it we all know because of the $$ involved & the "cut" someone would be getting when project completed

own one line instead of two. to expand in future will cost more. example bakun, you will never build it now if you had not started it 20 years ago.

90 mins vs 130 mins. not much difference to me.
The most important is cheaper and more affordable train tickets.

Looking at the route. Looks like places like Bandar Tasik Selatan, TPM (planned new KTM station at Maju KL), Kajang etc may benefits if they go ahead with the new plan.
They may still build a station at Bandar Malaysia as planned?
Looks like Singapore side will still end at Jurong East.

it's not 90vs130, we are talking about economy booster or game changer. Fortune favors the bold.

The BN's HSR plan is not bold enough. It's old tech.
To me to be bold is to build a second generation maglev line or a hyperloop line.
But at this moment , those technology is not mature enough and we dont have the $.

this is your opinion

Yes. I am entitled to my opinion and you are entitled to yours too.

this is a public forum. please don't give misleading opinion. you knew the techs are not mature yet you are proposing them. when we wanted to embark any new project, it must be feasible. pre-EIA study has brushed off both maglev and hyperloop options. the facts/reasons are given in the report.

You may ask all the local engineering firm/contractors involved in the this project about the china company attitude and so on..I believe they will strongly support our new gov cancel the project

Anyone know how many hours delay for all the buses delay for both way KL-SG yesterday? The answer is at least 4-6hrs..that's the reason many workers in SG KL take leave due to this issues today..dunno our ministers know about it or not

Is this 1st time in history happens or many decades already?

Often happen thus we need to upgrade our custom counter and our train KL-SG..PLUS can't cater the traffic flow during holidays

Only those never face this issues dun need a better KL-SG train..let's see what is the outcome since SG give a good suggestion now
