SINGAPORE – Malaysia and Singapore authorities are jointly studying several matters to finalise details for the KL-Singapore high-speed rail link project, International Trade and Industry Minister Mustapa Mohamed said here last night.

He said both sides are “very serious” about the project and are mutually supportive to see the rail link was a success story.

The ambitious project, jointly agreed to by the Malaysian and Singapore governments, is slated for operations in 2020.

Upon completion, it will take only 90 minutes for travellers from Kuala Lumpur to reach Singapore and vice-versa.

Both sides were working closely to sort out the details as the rail link was crucial to Malaysia and Singapore to further enhance their bilateral and trade relations, he told Malaysian journalists after ending his working visit to the republic.
