HSR will replace the regional air travel significantly due to the rising cost of air travel.

Changi-KLIA daily flights is one of the most profitable route for MAS....Naturally certain vested party in Bolehland will die die protect their Golden Goose...

This was clearly reflected in a 2018 story after Dr M unilaterally scrap the HSR project soon after winning the election

The HSR link, which had been slated to open in the middle of next decade, would likely have led to at least a 50% drop in Kuala Lumpur-Singapore air traffic. This is the equivalent of approximately 4% of total traffic at both Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and Singapore Changi – more than 2 million annual passengers.
