\nSingapore PM Lee Hsien Loong and Malaysian PM Najib Razak are to witness the signing of the agreement in early December.
\nSingapore and Malaysia are set to sign a bilateral agreement early next month for the development of the long-awaited high-speed rail (HSR), which will connect the two countries, reported Today Online.
\n\u201cWe are working towards signing the bilateral agreement on the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail at the next leaders\u2019 retreat on 5 December 2016,\u201d said a spokesperson from Singapore\u2019s Transport Ministry.
\nSingapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak first announced the rail project in 2013. Diplomats told The New Straits Times that both leaders are expected to witness the signing of the bilateral agreement at their annual retreat in Johor Bahru.
\nThe draft agreement will set out the project\u2019s detailed costs, and revenue-sharing aspects. It will also touch on whether a tunnel or bridge will be built across the Johor Strait in order to link the HSR.
\nConstruction of the HSR is expected to start in 2018, with operations slated to begin in 2026. Featuring terminus stations in Jurong East and Bandar Malaysia, the 350km double-track rail will reduce travel time between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur to 90 minutes.
\nNotably, rail passengers will, in future, be able to clear customs and immigration at their point of departure.
\nA bilateral committee with representatives from the two countries will be formed upon the signing of the agreement to manage and regulate aspects of the HSR that might affect cross-border services. Aside from this, the committee will also provide regulatory oversight for the rail project.
