THE proposed high-speed rail (HSR) link from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore is not merely a transportation project, said Datuk Mohd Nur Ismal Kamal, CEO of the MyHSR Corporation Sdn Bhd (MyHSR Corp).
“The current administration firmly believes in the benefits of HSR, and is key to revive the project. However, due to fiscal constraints arising from the country’s debt level, annual debt servicing costs, other commitments, the government wants to explore to see if the public-private partnership route (PPP) is the way to go,” said Mohd Nur Ismal at the Women in Rail Conference 2023 recently.
