Update on Current Status of Malaysia-Singapore High-Speed Rail Project

Ms Joan Pereira asked the Minister for Transport (a) what is the current status of the Malaysia-Singapore High-Speed Rail project; (b) what costs is Singapore incurring while waiting for a more definite conclusion; (c) how will local companies and employees involved in the project be affected by the postponement; and (d) what is being done to ensure a favourable outcome.

I thank the Member for her questions. I have addressed them in my reply at the 9 July 2018 Parliament Sitting. [Please refer to ​"Update on Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail Project", Official Report, 9 July 2018, Vol 94, Issue 78, Oral Answers to Questions section.]
