SG, Malaysia mull discussions on high-speed rail project revival 

Deputy PM Lawrence Wong said SG is open to fresh proposals from Malaysia.

Malaysia’s Prime Minister Ismail Sabri has expressed interest to revive talks on the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur High-Speed Rail (HSR) project which was terminated last year, Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong revealed.

In response to Sabri, Wong said Singapore is open to fresh proposals from Malaysia on the rail project.

Sabri and Wong met during Wong’s visit to Malaysia. He will be in the country until 7 September.

Apart from the HSR project, the two leaders also discussed the progress of the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link Project that will connect Johor Bahru and Woodlands.

Wong said he is also looking forward to collaborating with Malaysia in new areas of cooperation in green and digital economies.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
