KUALA LUMPUR: A formal request for information (RFI) exercise will be conducted by the Malaysian government this month to solicit private sector interest in constructing the high speed rail (HSR) from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore (KL-SG HSR).
In a statement on Tuesday , MyHSR Corporation Sdn Bhd , a company wholly-owned by the Minister of Finance , said the government aims to improve intercity mobility with a view to generate socio-economic development through reduced journey time, safe and seamless travel, and enhanced accessibility for our second and third-tier cities.
In its latest pre-Covid iteration, the KL-SG HSR stretches across six states - Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Selangor, Negri Sembilan, Melaka, and Johor - before crossing the Tebrau Strait into Singapore's Jurong East. The unique proposition of the HSR, which will be a bilateral project, is the co-located customs, immigration and quarantine facilities of both countries at both ends of the line to allow seamless passenger movements.
The project was cancelled during the tenure of Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin in 2021, with Malaysia ending up having to compensate Singapore to the tune of RM320mil. “The KL-SG HSR project will bring tremendous benefits to the people, particularly in enhancing and expanding economic dynamism from the Klang Valley to the southern corridor of the peninsula, and eventually to the rest of Malaysia.
