Climate impact of KL-Singapore air route can be avoided by improving existing rail links


RimbaWatch estimates that the KL-Singapore air route and its flights will emit 229tCO2e in 2024, furthering the point in enhancing rail connectivity as a viable alternative along this corridor.

THE proposed high speed railway (HSR) between Kuala Lumpur (KL) and Singapore aims to streamline travel between the two capitals while curbing costs and emissions.

Originally conceptualised in 2013 and formalised through a binding agreement between Malaysia and Singapore in 2016, the project was discontinued in 2020, leading to a compensation payout of over US$76.46mil to Singapore.
