Singapore and Malaysia will set up a new joint working group, under the jurisdiction by 'Iskandar Joint Ministerial Committee', to discuss the proposed Singapore - Malaysia high-speed rail plan, and make recommendations for the next phase of work to the two governments.

Joint Commission yesterday issued a statement declaring that the two countries, Singapore and Malaysia agreed to the establishment of this working group.

More than 300 km distance between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, if one-way ride high-speed rail can be shortened to about 90 minutes, because the speed of high-speed railway is estimated about 200 to more than 300 km / h. High-speed railway will shorten the distance between the cities, making transportation more convenient.
