If the measure is about revitalizing the old infrastructure and improving the quality of traveling time for the driver, i have no reasons to oppose the plan or the government, either.
The plan is good, so why not let it goes through and benefiting to our people.
I have read some main national news.
Many news show that our government has a strong determination to collaborate with our neighbor country, Singapore for constructing the dedicated KL-Singapore high-speed rail.
According to their initiative plan, the traveling time on rail we will consume from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore will shorten than we traveling on road.
It roughly might take you 90 minutes to get you there to "Singapore" by this high speed rail transport, instead 4 hours by a vehicle.
This high-speed rail between the end-point destinations has 5 stops stations. With one stop station will be each in Negeri Sembilan and Melaka and the other three stations will be located in Johor.
I feel welcome to this plan and i hope the bilateral governments can work together in the upcoming years.
But look up for the relationship between Malaysia and Singapore, the both countries have had seldom come together for cooperation and apology. For example, the land property of KTM's rail in Singapore, looks like a never ending drama. Besides this, if Singapore insisted to replace the existing bridge between Johor Bahru and Wooldlands, Malaysia government will connect that bridge with a curve style for retaliation.
If the high speed rail in service, i can take a plane to Singapore, instead flying to Kuala Lumpur from Singapore. With this itinerary, i can save lots for going home.
ohh.. yea. if i go to Singapore, i can take high-speed train with 90 minutes journey. You know 3 hours driving is tiresome, and driving in Singapore is unnecessary i realized, since their metro system is accessible to any important tourist spots. Also, the petrol price in Singapore is a joke and no free parking too.
Personally, i quite agreed with someone that if the mega project is involved with bilateral countries, especially with Singapore, the occurrence of the overprice and corruption in this mega project is nearly zero or none existence.
The credibility and transparency of Singapore are world-class ranking. So corruption, shoddy construction, waste, overprice, and over-scheduled are not an issue. For sure, Singapore will not let this kind of scandal become a world news, even a national news, never ever.
Singapore is a responsible country, and well, our government should learn from them, especially the transparency of government investment and the Government itself.
So?
So high speed rail is the test between the two countries.
This is good time to prove the world that the both neighbors can work together..We're not foe but sis.
