An agreement for developing an HSR line between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore has been included in the joint statement issued by the prime ministers of Malaysia and Singapore. A joint ministerial committee has been entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing the details and modalities of the HSR link between the two cities. The HSR is expected to cut travel time between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore from 8 hours to 90 minutes. The HSR is likely to be commissioned by 2022.
