THE 2026 operational deadline for the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur High Speed Rail, though realistic, will not be easily met and requires political commitment for it to happen, a regional director for French rail company Alstom has said.
In an interview with The Business Times on Thursday, Jean-Francois Beaudoin, senior vice-president for the Asia-Pacific for Alstom Transport, also confirmed the company's interest in becoming an asset company for the service.
