[SINGAPORE] A new high-speed rail link between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore is in the works, with passengers needing just 90 minutes to get from one city to the other once the system is up and running by 2020.
The prime ministers of Singapore and Malaysia described this ambitious project as a "game changer" for both sides as they wrapped up their annual leaders' retreat here yesterday.
"It's a strategic project for the two countries. It will change the way we see each other," said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, likening the project to the Eurostar link between London and Paris that transformed "two European cities into one virtual urban community".
"It's going to transform the way people interact, the intensity of our cooperation and the degree to which we become inter-dependent on each other and therefore have stakes in each other's success," he said at a joint news conference with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak at the Shangri-La Hotel.
