HSR can power economic growth


On track: The Eurostar which was launched on Nov 14, 1994, is a high-speed railway service connecting England with France and Belgium. Malaysia is now planning the HSR project which will take commuters from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore in 90 minutes, and targetted to commence operations in 2026.

KUALA LUMPUR: Much has been said about how the anticipated high speed rail (HSR) from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore will slash travel time to as few as 90 minutes, thus expediting the rapid movement of people between the two countries.

However, this particular HSR project is much more than just a mere transportation project, even if its very basic premise is to shorten travel times.
