Reports in a media have referred to that skeleton for a multi-billion ringgit high-speed rail use from Singapore to KL have been being resurrected.
Details have been sketchy, butThe Starreports that Land as well as Public Transport Commission (Spad) released a proposal for a study in December, as well as an proclamation about a a appointment of a expert is approaching soon.
AnEdgereport indicates that Spad's commercial feasibility study could be accomplished this month as well as cites sources observant a high-speed rail project could price reduction than US$ 10bn (RM30bn). The entire feasibility study could be accomplished by a year-end.
Ordinarily I would be all for rail transport, but in this case, you haven't even accomplished a double-tracking project from north to south.
Sure, a high-speed rail service, that needs a broader sign rail track, would not be possible upon a present metre sign used by KTM, that boundary speeds to 130km per hour. (But hey, even that would be a outrageous alleviation from a old trains.)
But if you introduce a high-speed rail use in a couple of years, how have been you starting to replenish a investment in a double-tracking? Won't it take a lot longer to replenish a investment?
Also, given a lane jot down of a BN government, how certain have been you there will be an open proposal for a executive with a proven lane jot down at a most attractive terms without rent-seeking by crony companies or others merely hitching upon for a (high-speed) ride?
And because have been Penang as well as alternative cities in a north as well as a easterly coast being left out?
What about alternative priorities similar to mending transport, generally rail services in Sabah as well as Sarawak? Are you forgetting a outrage! ous urba n-rural income disparity?
