The original HSR plan could shave travel time by an hour and a half.
The research house said it believed the project would “eventually get the green light”, based on a number of factors supporting its revival in the short term.
It noted that the KL-Singapore air route is among the world’s most heavily trafficked international routes while a journey from downtown Kuala Lumpur to downtown Singapore is estimated to take more than four hours by road.“With increased accessibility, the local economies of Batu Pahat, Muar and other locations along the proposed alignment are also likely to benefit from the project, ” it said.
It noted that the government has been mulling stimulus packages, and said this could include additional budget to support the HSR project.
