The former prime minister said that paying the hefty compensation of RM320 million to neighbouring Singapore already put the country behind, adding that after some thought, the HSR to cover a span of 200km may not actually be needed in the country. “So, why should people travel on an expensive train when they can travel by road or by other trains? When you want a HSR, it should go a long distance, say from Singapore to Penang, or Alor Setar, or the border of Thailand,” he said during a virtual discussion with the media.
“If you find that the country does not need it yet, then don’t do it. The HSR is going to travel within Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. It’s a very short distance, not much time saved.
Hmmm…. Because its… Faster. More comfortable. Safer. Easier. Convinient. Avoid causeway jam.
This old man has not moved on since 1960s.
