KL-Singapore high speed rail project draws strong market feedback

98 companies participated in the request for information exercise.

Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) and Malaysia’s Suruhanjaya Pengangkutan Awam Darat (SPAD) have received 98 submissions in response to the joint Request for Information (RFI) exercise on the Kuala Lumpur – Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) project.

The respondents were companies and consortia come from across the HSR value chain and include entities based in Malaysia, Singapore, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East and North America, a joint statement from the authorities said.

“We are grateful for the strong feedback that the market has provided us on our project. We will study the responses thoroughly and consider how the project’s commercial model and procurement approach can be further improved,” said LTA CEO Chew Men Leong and SPAD CEO En Mohd Azharuddin Mat Sah in the joint statement.

The Governments of Malaysia and Singapore expect to finalise the commercial model and procurement approach of the project by next year.

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.
