A Singapore Ministry of Transport spokesman said that the high-speed rail MoU was expected to be signed on July 19. Singapore plans to build a high-speed rail link that is expected to cut travel time between the city state and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to around 90 minutes.
It now takes around four hours to drive from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, which are about 300 km (186 miles) apart. A flight takes around 50 minutes but travellers must spend time checking in and out of airports, as well as travelling from Kuala Lumpur International Airport to the city centre.
There were no details on the timeframe for the project, the amount to be invested or the firms that would be contracted.
