Mr Gan Thiam Poh asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide an update on the latest development on the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur high-speed rail (HSR) train and the extension of Singapore's MRT line to Johor Bahru.

Khaw Boon Wan

There is good progress on the High-Speed Rail project. The two Governments have conducted a joint market sensing exercise to gauge market interest and gather feedback on the commercial aspects of the project. We received very good responses. Both countries are now using the feedback to further develop the project's commercial model and procurement approach. We are also, concurrently, discussing the security, regulatory and technical aspects.

The Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link is also making steady progress. Following Malaysia's confirmation that their station will be located at Bukit Chagar in August 2015, Phase 2 of the Joint Engineering Study has commenced. This will take around 18 months. At the same time, the two Governments have also begun discussing the commercial, regulatory and security aspects of the project.
