OCTOBER 28 ― Perhaps more than ever before, Malaysians will be paying close attention to the Budget when it is unveiled this tomorrow. They will be looking for signals from the government over how it plans to chart our country’s recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.
The latter needs a bit more explanation. Malaysia as we know, abrogated a previous plan for a HSR that would have connected Kuala Lumpur to Singapore earlier this year. Like digital infrastructure, the benefits of rail infrastructure are obvious. Trains are arguably cheaper, more environmentally friendly and democratic when it comes to giving opportunities to get people moving.
Vietnam and Thailand have no qualms about spending such astronomical sums because they understand the long-term benefits HSR will bring: do we? There are no good reasons against the KL-JB route. One is that it duplicates the Gemas -JB double-tracking project. However, this argument ignores the fact that countries like Japan have multiple railway tracks.
