KUALA LUMPUR: Berjaya Group is seeking a new partner as it bids for a proposed multi-billion dollar high-speed rail line between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, after Malaysian Resources Corp. withdrew from the consortium, Berjaya’s founder Tan Sri Vincent Tan said.

"As a consortium, we have put in a proposal,” for the project, Tan told reporters on Friday. "After MRCB’s pullout, we may bring in a new partner.”
