Land acquisition for HSR project likely to be done late next year

KUALA LUMPUR: Land acquisition for the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high speed rail (HSR) project will most likely take place by the third quarter of next year, following public display of the alignment by the middle of the year, said MyHSR Corporation Sdn Bhd.

MyHSR Corp is the agency tasked with overseeing the bilateral project that aims to bridge Kuala Lumpur (at Bandar Malaysia) with Singapore’s Jurong East via a pair of rail tracks across 350km, with 335km of the tracks within Malay­sian territory.
