High-speed rail initiative not driven by any private sector proposal


PETALING JAYA: The proposed high-speed rail (HSR) project linking Kuala Lumpur and Singapore is not driven by any proposal from the private sector. Instead, said Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) chief executive officer Mohd Nur Ismal Mohamed Kamal, the project would take shape based largely on its needs and viability.

“This HSR plan will ultimately depend on the need to have such infrastructure, although there have been a number of proposals received. We are starting afresh this time around in terms of concept, alignment and infrastructure plan,” he told StarBiz yesterday.
