any project without pocket money is not going to get approval.

[Manthink]

This pariah, Lim GE, is himself an international laughing stock when he carried Mahathir balls on his head and happily canceled the HSR together. A real piece of shxt.......

Bolehland ah, Bolehland.  This is what you get when a cheapo gov ownself con ownself.

But according to wise mat-head Dr M logic (and pocket size)- HSR is a waste of $ and "risk bankrupting the country."
At the time of cancellation in 2018, HSR was est around $27 Billion.
Over 4 years later with the super high inflation....I cannot imagine the cost of starting the project again.

Inflation also don't standstill one...

Yes, inflation don't stand still, the cost of building this HSR will be higher and will grow higher as years go by...................

[mikotan]

Besides allow corruptions, there is no benefits to HSR. Who keep saying go KL shopping and back in q day? This to justify the cost?

If the HSR is awarded to the Chinese companies, chances are the materials and manpower will come from China..................

We see this happening in countries that are under the Belt and Road Initiatives........countries that had accepted China's loan and it's construction............

When Lim GE and Dr. Mad cancelled HSR, they were the laughing stock!

As a Malaysian, it behoves you to get your facts right, at least for love of your motherland.

It was cancelled by Muhyiddin.  Shame on you that you learn this from me, a Singaporean.

Ah Lim talks nonsense sometimes.

But his nonsense does not include talking to Anwar about "HRS" whatever that might be.

I think you guys are referring to HSR, not HRS............HSR is High Speed Rail...........................

You guys? 

I am waiting for Man(think) to crawl out and tell everybody what the eff is HRS.  

[sgxin]

best is completely write off the idea of this hsr
spore is lready too crowded!!

Cambodia will be building a HSR line connecting their 2 major cities to a Thai border town.
Malaysia should study how the Cambodian project with a longer route can be build so cheaply (S$5.4b vs the estimated S$20b for the shelved Spore-KL line) and replicate the funding and construction method.

And hope there won't be a HSR extension here as Spore involvement will only jack up the project cost and commoners may be slapped with another 1% gst increase when a high cost line goes into the red. For me, I am ok not to visit KL for the rest of my life. Last visit was 20 years ago. For those who are keen to travel by HSR to KL, an express MRT link (100km/h) from Spore to JB would suffice imo.

Cambodia’s First High-speed Rail Estimated cost $4 Billion

According to the preliminary research results, Cambodia’s first high-speed rail is expected to cost US$4 billion. 382 kilometers and the construction period is expected to be 4 years

As a Goat Flower who only reveres your goat daddy, you are not able to absorb and understand facts from Asian countries. 

That's understandable!

Don't just parrot what Dr M and AMTK is saying lah...end of the day who becomes an international laughing stock after cancelling HSR project ?

Huh ? Why wait when the World can see PM Anwar sudden major U turn after returning from China recently ?

IMO, the problem isn't about $, or technical issue...but politics.

The cancelling of HSR project by M'sian gov remains me of the experience Americans keep having with their railway infrastructure...no thanks to self-serviing interest groups who fear HSR will rob them of their business....
