HSR delay is a blessing in disguise


IN some ways, it is a blessing in disguise that the high-speed rail (HSR) project connecting Malaysia to Singapore has been delayed.

When the project was first approved in 2013, it was due to kick off in 2017 and be ready for operations by 2026. The new timeline for the project is for it to be operational by 2031.
