Debated in Parliament on 11 Jan 2022.
Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong asked the Minister for Transport whether he can provide an update on the discussions with the Malaysian government to revive the Kuala Lumpur–Singapore High Speed Rail project.
As Malaysia had decided not to proceed with the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) project, it was consequently terminated after the project’s suspension period lapsed on 31 December 2020. We had stated then that Singapore would be willing to discuss any new proposal on a HSR from Malaysia in good faith, starting from a clean slate. Our position remains unchanged. Singapore has not received a new proposal from the Malaysian government on an HSR.
