SINGAPORE has already spent more than S$250 million on the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail (HSR) project, and is likely to expend another S$40 million or so by the end of this year, said Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan in Parliament on Monday.
Replying to questions from several MPs on the status of the HSR, he revealed that based on preliminary estimates, the costs incurred had "already exceeded S$250 million".
