Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Prospects of Revival of High-Speed Rail Project between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur

Mr Ang Wei Neng asked the Minister for Transport whether an update can be provided on the prospects of a possible revival of the High-Speed Rail (HSR) project between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, in view that the Malaysian government has recently shortlisted three consortia to build the HSR.

Reply by Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat:

1. We have not received any new proposal from Malaysia for a Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail. As stated previously, Singapore is open to discussing new proposals with Malaysia in good faith, starting from a clean slate.
