Malaysian minister denies bullet train to Singapore approved
KUALA LUMPUR: Transport minister Chan Kong Choy has denied a report
that Malaysia and Singapore have approved construction of a bullet
train linking the two countries, saying the plan is still being
mulled.
"The government has still not made a final decision, it is still
looking at the proposal," Chan was quoted as saying late Tuesday by
the state Bernama news agency.
The minister also said the government did not have a timetable to
make a decision, and that it wanted to thoroughly evaluate the
proposal.
A report Monday by the New Straits Times said the two nations had
approved the high-speed train proposed last year by Malaysian
conglomerate YTL Corporation.
Citing an unnamed YTL official, the report said YTL would build the
rail link by the end of 2009, and that design plans and studies
were underway.
The official also said YTL planned to draw on the expertise of
Germany's Siemens AG in its construction.
An existing rail service from capital Kuala Lumpur to Singapore
takes about seven hours, while the high-speed train would make the
journey in 90 minutes. - AFP/yy
