A domestic HSR still viable for Malaysia


Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Economy) Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed previously said that the government would embark on a new study to assess the viability of various options for a HSR. The study will be facilitated by MyHSR, which will be looking at projected ridership, funding options and economic benefits derived from the project.

PETALING JAYA: Economists are of the view that a high-speed rail (HSR) is still viable for Malaysia if the country decides to go alone in implementing the project.

This could potentially be an immediate impetus towards growth coming out of an economic crisis.
