“Once we have a policy decision to proceed with the high-speed rail, we will start negotiations with Singapore,” Loke said.
Malaysia will decide in the coming months whether to proceed with a multibillion-dollar high-speed rail line between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, as Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s government weighs proposals from a narrowing list of private consortiums.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke said in an interview Wednesday that he hopes Malaysia’s cabinet will decide on the viability of the project by the end of the fourth quarter.
