The High Speed Rail to Kuala Lumpur will terminate in Jurong East. I wonder if most of the journey through Singapore is above or under ground?
It would have been better to have the railway terminate in Woodlands and for the passengers to travel to other parts of Singapore using our MRT system. This would reduce the cost of the system and make it available sooner.
Kin Lian, I agree. There is also a political and nationalistic problem in joint venturing with Malaysia on the HSR. See the letter in TODAY's Voices column
