\nMalaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said yesterday that the international tender to supply high-speed rail (HSR) trains may be called by the fourth quarter of next year, reported The New Straits Times.

\nNajib, who is on an official three-day visit to Japan, made the announcement after a meeting in Tokyo with his Japanese counterpart, Shinzo Abe.
\n\u201cThere are several milestones in the implementation of this project but the most significant would be the international bidding process, which, according to our plan, will be issued in the fourth quarter of 2017,\u201d he said. \u201cI have reassured Prime Minister Abe that the process to arrive at the final decision (on the contract) would be done in an open, transparent and objective manner.\u201d
\nNotably, Abe made a strong pitch for the Singapore and Malaysian governments to consider using the Japanese Shinkansen bullet train system.
\n\u201cWe had a very good discussion on the high-speed railway programme between Malaysia and Singapore, and I expressed strong expectations regarding the adoption of Japan\u2019s bullet train technology,\u201d said Abe at the press conference.
