Early next month, Singapore and Malaysia are expected to sign the bilateral agreement on developing the highly anticipated high-speed rail (HSR) that will link the two countries.
“We are working towards signing the bilateral agreement on the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail at the next leaders’ retreat on Dec 5, 2016,” a spokesperson from Singapore’s Transport Ministry said yesterday.
The rail project was first announced in 2013 by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak and Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
