KL-JB route for HSR project not viable, says Khaled Nordin


JOHOR BARU: Reviving the High Speed Rail (HSR) project without Singapore would be a waste of resources and has no economic value, says a former Johor mentri besar.

Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin, who is also the Umno vice-president, said that the government’s plan to implement the HSR project to Johor Baru was not viable as the city was not an economic powerhouse like its island republic neighbour.
