$15.6b Singapore-KL rail project likely to be in Tuas West or Jurong East

It'll be built by 2020.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has underscored the partnership between Singapore and Malaysia when he spoke at the press conference on Monday.

He was speaking to the media after the Malaysia-Singapore Leaders’ Retreat in Putrajaya with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.

He stressed that the bilateral ties between Malaysia and Singapore has been progressing well. Outlining the various projects between the two countries, PM Lee said that they are making progress on the High Speed Rail project.
“It is a very major project, and there are still many issues to work out. It will keep us busy for the next few years. When completed, it will bring our countries closer together,” he said.

PM Lee shared that Tuas West and Jurong East are candidates for the location of the $15.6b rail project which is targeted to be built by 2020. A third alternative option is in the city which might, however, require bigger cost.

PM lee noted that there are many items yet to be discussed with regards to the multi-billion project including the design, financing, governance, operations, security and immigration requirements, and legal arrangements.

Additionally, PM Lee said that he has also reviewed the progress of Iskandar Malaysia (IM) along with PM Najib.
“We look forward to more cooperation on industrial and manufacturing activities between Singapore and IM. Such investments are win-win as they will create more and better jobs for both our peoples,” he said.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
