Malaysia are very nice to Singaporeans to allow us to buy freehold property in their country. Maybe they understand that Singaporeans has no land to own property so allow us to buy it. So nice.
The land law was inherited from the British law. And so it's no issue as many investors are comfortable with British common law.
No need to HSR to Sg, until JB is enough. It is their own country infrastructure, it has nothing to do with SG.
If sgreans want to try the HSR to KL, go JB and take the train. Still the same.
Yes. Once to the BRT between woodlands and JB is completed ktm train can take you to KL in 3 hours.
Yes, go JB take HSR take even better. Or they can arrange a transport to pick passenger from jurong to Puteri Harbor. The transport will have priority over the jam.
Isn't it good? They still Get Singaporean to go over and spend?
The reason why if HSR proceed, it will terminate at tanjung puteri, is to give PAP a option on how to connect it to jurong. Either by MRT or just extend the HSR. I believe the horrendous cost of linking to jurong was the deal breaker. Plus PAP more or less dictating KL where the HSR should stop and its route.
If they partner with Sg, there are so many crappy things to deal with. Moreover, the train has to go over the sea ( with a newly built rail line, i presume) from sg to jb, this is ridiculous. There is a lot of cost to bear for having a train to go over the sea.
By doing away with Sg, Malaysia will save a lot of money, extra work, energy and unnecessary issues.
No need for HSR domestically. The KTM is already fully electrified from Gemas to Padang Besar (Thai border). Work in progress now for electrifying the section between Gemas to JB. Once, this is completed, it will take half the time to travel to KL from JB via the electrified KTM as compared to driving. Also, the construction costs are significantly cheaper than the HSR, leading to more affordable fares for the commuters.
HSR is only beneficial for huge population like China. Malaysia really doesn't need it for the next 50 years.
Nobody in PAP mentioned how much tickets will cost. This asset co that will manage the HSR will not have the investors nor commuters interest at heart. Its their interest that comes first.
KL ERL trains running to KL airport at 160km/ hr have been operating for 20 over years with no issues except ticket prices which have increased to RM55 per trip.excessive in my opinion.
But based on the cost, expect KL to sinkie tickets to cost about RM400 per trip or more if it had gone ahead.cheaper to fly. Thats why high speed rail makes no economic sense in the most free market, the US.
Alhamdullillah!
