The termination of the high-speed rail (HSR) project from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore, which will be rerouted to end at Johor Bahru instead, will end up costing Malaysia billions of ringgit in lost revenue, said former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak on Friday.
He made the comments shortly after Singapore and Malaysia issued a joint statement to announce the termination of the HSR agreement, with the two countries unable to reach a consensus on Malaysia's proposed changes to the project.
