Govt to speed up Singapore-KL rail system


PETALING JAYA: Under the Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley National Key Economic Area (NKEA), the Government is looking to expedite the planned high-speed rail (HSR) system between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur and plans to complete Phase 2A of the feasibility study this year.

However, the main challenge to this initiative, which has been described as a game changer that will catalyse economic growth between the two economic hubs, has been in managing public perception and expectations on the HSR project.
