KL-Singapore HSR details to be known in 2 years


KUALA LUMPUR: Details of the contracts for the construction of the KL to Singapore high speed rail will likely be known in two years, said the Land Public Transport Commission's chief development officer Prodyut Dutt.

"Given that the development takes about five years and we aim to complete it in 2022, working backwards we should see the details of these contracts by the year 2017," he said.

Details of the cost sharing formula with the Singaporean government counterpart had still not yet been fixed yet, he said at Rail Business Asia 2015 seminar.

Earlier, Dutt said KTM Bhd’s double tracking line from Gemas to Padang Besar would be launched by end-2015.
