4 Facts on the High Speed Rail That Connects Singapore and Malaysia

In 2007, economic collaboration between Singapore and Malaysia moved a step closer with the establishment of the Malaysia-Singapore Joint Ministerial Committee for Iskandar Malaysia. Iskandar Malaysia refers to the extensive development of the southern Malaysia State of Johor. The development covers an area of 2,217 square kilometres which comprise the city of Johor Bahru, towns like Pontian, Senai and Pasir Gudang. On 19 February 2013, leaders from Singapore and Malaysia stuck a landmark agreement to build a High Speed Rail link between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to further spearhead the development of Iskandar Malaysia.

Let’s take a look at four key facts of the upcoming High Speed Rail:

1) The entire length of the High Speed Rail is expected to measure 350 kilometres and will cut travelling time between Singapore to Kuala Lumpur to just 90 minutes.

2) There will be a total of 8 stations along the High Speed Rail with 7 stations in Malaysia and 1 station in Singapore. The stations in Malaysia are Kuala Lumpur. Putrajaya, Seremban, Ayer Keroh, Muar, Batu Pahat and Iskandar Puteri. The station in Singapore will be at Jurong East.

3) There will be 3 immigration facilities located at Kuala Lumpur, Iskandar Puteri and Sngapore Jurong East. International passengers travelling on the High Speed Rail will clear immigration of both countries once at the point of departure. This should ensure speedy travel procedure for travellers.

4) This is the 1st High Speed Rail in ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nation) and hopefully there will be more such projects linking travellers to other ASEAN countries.
