At long last, the agreement for the High Speed Rail between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur is ready to be signed. The railway will come into operation in 2026. By that time, I will be 78 years old and will be too old to use it. Never mind, it will be good for the future generations. Link.
This railway should have been started 20 years earlier. However, the relationship between Singapore and Malaysia was bad. This reflects the disappointing mindset of the leaders at that time. They cannot see beyond their own pettiness to the bigger issues for both countries.
Look at the progress made by China in developing the high speed railway connecting their major cities. In contrast, our slow progress is disappointing.

Singapore shouldn't sign the HSR and if it signs it should pay only the cost on singapore side. The political situation in malaysial is predijucial and poses danger to singaporeans and to singapore. Malaysial may renege on the terms.
