SINGAPORE and Malaysia have agreed to suspend construction of the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) project until May 31, 2020, with service on the advanced train line expected to begin by the start of 2031, instead of the original end-2026 commencement date.
Singapore's Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan and Malaysia's Minister of Economic Affairs Mohamed Azmin Ali on Wednesday exchanged legal documents in Putrajaya to vary the HSR bilateral agreement based on the new understanding.
