KUALA LUMPUR: A prominent Chinese scholar hopes that the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project will be completed soon as two high-speed rail projects in South-East Asia have been completed.

“The Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail and Laos-China high-speed rail have been completed. Hopefully, the ERCL project will be completed quickly,” said Victor Gao, the chair professor at Soochow University and vice-president of the Centre for China and Globalisation.
