KL-Singapore High Speed Rail Project Terminated Due To Covid-19 Impact
Published 4 months ago
Back in 2013, both Malaysian and Singaporean governments agreed to the construction of a 350km rail line that was set to transport commuters from a terminal station in Kuala Lumpur to Jurong East, Singapore. The High-Speed Rail Project was slated to have seven stations and would even cut travel time between KL to Singapore to just 90 minutes.
However, Malaysian Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin released a joint statement with his Singaporean counterpart, Lee Hsien Loong today (1 January 2021), announcing that the HSR KL-Singapore Project has officially been terminated. Both countries will comply with their respective conditions and take the necessary action as a result of the termination of the HSR project agreement.
