HSR to continue in 2020 after suspension ends

PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia is committed to continuing with the High Speed Rail (HSR) project after its two-year suspension ends in May 2020, for which the government will reimburse Singapore S$15mil (RM45.1mil).

While both Malaysia and Singa­pore have agreed to suspend the project and on the reimbursement amount, Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Azmin Ali declined to reveal the cost the government would have to pay should the project be cancelled later on.
