Transport minister Loke Siew Fook says extending the route to Bangkok will incur a much higher capital expenditure.
The KL-Singapore high-speed rail project was axed on Jan 1, 2021, by the Perikatan Nasional-led government.
Loke was replying to former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin , who asked about the government’s future plans for the project, which has yet to be officially revived. “Even for the KL-Singapore route, I don’t think it will be easy for the private sector to fully fund the project. However, we are open to accepting suggestions that are submitted .”
