SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): Singapore has not received any new proposal from Malaysia for a high-speed rail (HSR) line between the city state and Kuala Lumpur, Acting Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat told Parliament on Thursday (Aug 3).

“Singapore is willing to discuss any new proposal for a Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail from Malaysia in good faith, starting from a clean slate,” Chee said, in response to questions from MPs.
