\nThe High-Speed Rail project between Singapore and Malaysia was terminated on 1 Jan 2021, however, the Malaysian prime minister has suggested reviving discussions for the project.
\nMalaysia Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob has suggested reviving discussions on a High-Speed Rail (HSR) with Singapore, reported Channel News Asia (CNA) citing Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
\nIsmail Sabri is visiting Singapore to mark the start of the vaccinated travel lanes (VTL) between the two countries. He met his Singapore counterpart and was hosted to an official lunch at the Istana.
\n\u201cThe prime minister suggested reviving discussions on the HSR,\u201d said Lee after meeting with the Malaysian Prime Minister on Monday (29 November).
\n\u201cI responded to the prime minister that Singapore and Malaysia had previously reached an agreement to terminate the HSR projects, and this has been amicably settled and closed. Nevertheless, Singapore is open to fresh proposals from Malaysia on the HSR project,\u201d he added as quoted by CNA.
\nHe shared that the transport ministries from the two countries will discuss the matter and that the city-state looks forward to receiving more details from Malaysia \u201cso that we can study them and consider the matter again, starting from a clean slate\u201d.
\nNotably, Malaysia had paid Singapore over $102 million in compensation for the terminated project.
\nThe two prime ministers also discussed other areas of collaboration, like the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link which is set to commence passenger service by end-2026.
\nLee also revealed that Singapore continues to support Iskandar Malaysia\u2019s development.

\n\u201cThe 14th Joint Committee for Iskandar Malaysia will convene next month, and I hope that they will be able to give the project another further push,\u201d he said.
\nThe 14th Joint Ministerial Committee meeting for Iskandar Malaysia was initially scheduled in January 2019, but was postponed after the two countries were caught in a maritime border dispute.
\nIsmail Sabri said he and Lee have agreed to resume existing bilateral mechanisms, such as the 10th Leaders\u2019 Retreat which was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
\n\u201cGod willing, we will have our leaders\u2019 retreat in the first quarter of the next year and I look forward to coming back to Singapore,\u201d said the Malaysian prime minister.
