deandets Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 After the issue on "curved-bridge" , do you this will work ?* Singapore wld think ahead of more people jamming the Sentosa casino during weekend and desert the cool Genting....# Malaysia wld want all those rich expats to come over and shop and short-stay there and enjoy better value-for-money deals....Win-win deal ?..........Siemens keen on KL-S'pore high-speed train dealSIEMENS, a global expert in high-speed rail technology, is keen to be the technology provider for the proposed high-speed train project linking Kuala Lumpur (KL) to Singapore.The project, proposed by YTL Corp Bhd, is now under the Malaysian Government's consideration. Singapore has expressed interest in the project and both governments are expected to begin detailed talks this year.YTL's current rail proposal involves travel time between KL and Singapore being cut to just 90 minutes compared with existing KTM trains which take about seven hours."Ideally, it would begin from KL Sentral, linking the airport and Johor Baru and Changi Airport - that would make sense to me because inter-modal exchanges are most important.

ikano Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 The latest thing i heard was that the Johor government is against it. They feel that if a Malaysian company is building it, the train should stop at Johor instead, in other words, its only between KL and Johor. They are very firm on this with the Malaysian government.Singaporeans will have to go to JB to ride it. I guess their rational is that if it is between KL and Sg, Johor would be by-passed, and they wouldn't like that. The JB government want to make JB important, its their obligation.

worldangel Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Personally, if it benefits both countries, then it’s good idea but both needed to sort out the relocation of KTM train station at Tg. Pagar where already stagnant for some years. Another issue, the ticket price for bullet train should attractive as presently there is no budget airlines flying btwn Spore and KL and the flying time about 45mins, if the bullet train’s ticket price is reasonable then there are takers, if not businessmen would prefer to take aeroplane. a good oral sex makes your day, a good anal sex makes your "hole weak" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 红花会总舵主 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Recent News: 1.

Guest 红花会总舵主 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Dear A.Prof Lee, I am afraid your ingenious idea (building high speed rail link at Changi) will not work. I do not have a PhD, but I can reason with you why it will not work. Reasons below: Reason 1. When tourists come to Singapore, they must spend money. How to make these tourists spend money? Make them buy ezlink card and take MRT or spend money on taxi, and/or buses. By locating it at Changi, it is not feasible. Your suggestion is providing the convenient sake for these tourists to save money and time in transport! No objective of contributing ($) dollars & cents to our country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 红花会总舵主 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Reason 2. I wonder whether did you (A. Prof Lee) have pass your GCE 'O' Level geography or not? Malaysia high speed rail will definitely run along west coast of Peninsula Malaysia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 红花会总舵主 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Reason 3. On Malaysia side, high speed rail link is likely to run pass Gelang Patah, Pekan Nanas and etc. (I). Malaysian Government will not be stupid to build rail link through Pasir Gudang, Kota Tinggi, zig-zag here and there to KL!(II). Malaysian Government will not be happy to spend extra money to build rail link at/near Pasir Gudang, passing Johor Bahru and zig-zag to KL! If you insist and suggest to Singapore Gov't stationing High Speed Rail Link starting at Changi, that means, Singapore Gov't is going to find trouble for Malaysian Gov't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 红花会总舵主 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Reason 4. If Singapore Gov't wants to please Malaysia, and insisting building at Changi, that means it must cut across the heart of Singapore and building towards Tengah reservoir! Which means, 1. Extra cost and labour for Singapore Gov't!2. Causing pollution and disturbance to all people! He himself said: "它所产生的噪音、振动和电磁波辐射" (see report)3. Massive urban restructuring! If adopted, it is a god darn stupid decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 红花会总舵主 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Conclusion: This shall be the plan that works. See picture below: 1. Tourists spend money in our transport system (bus, MRT, taxi) going to Tuas.2. No extra burden for the people.(pollution, disturbance is minimised)3. More urban planning (housing, industry) on the west for Singapore. More lively on the western side.4. No extra cost for our Gov't.5. Malaysia will be happy. Dear A.Prof Lee, would you kindly award me your PhD? Also, I do not understand why Singapore media always interviewing you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydontay Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) tuas is a better choice for high speed cos of the noise. if sg can also build a tourist bus terminal at tuas will definitely be even great! thus will ease woodlands. tuas is mit residential area so minimal disturbance. we lack of bus terminal like larkin.

Maybe one of the reasons of doing it at Changi may be to integrate it with Changi Airport somehow, to entice passengers from certain places in Malaysia to use Changi Airport as opposed to KLIA. Many European cities have high speed rail serving airport stations in between cities. If they intend to run it from Changi, then the rail link between there and Johor, or the tip of Singapore nearest to Johor would probably be underground so as to maximise use of space. The trains would also not run at very high speed between Singapore and Johor as there is insufficient distance for acceleration. Just my thinking based of having experienced high speed rail in other countries, not sure how it will translate into real world application here.

limpeh Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Also, just so you guys know, on the current KTM system, a ticket from Woodlands to KL costs SGD33 while a ticket from JB sentral to KL costs RM33.If the high speed rail uses the same ticketing system, we might as well cross over and buy our tickets there.

Doesn't matter of its from Changi or anything to me, let the price do the talking. Somehow I don't think this will be the case for the high speed rail. For one the KTM system is operated solely by Malaysia whereas the high speed rail will likely be operated by both countries. For some people, time is more important than money, but at the same time the current KTM system is flawed as it is very easy (or it was very easy - I haven't taken the train in ages) to buy a ticket from Singapore to JB in SGD and then JB to KL in RM.

Many European cities have high speed rail serving airport stations in between cities. Wait Malaysian PM not happy. Like the picture in this post. KLIA wants to be number one too! Malaysian Gov't already knew Singapore has an ideal of placing at Changi, so they will sure die-die insist their (on Malaysia's side) starting point near to or at Iskandar. They are definitely not going to benefit Singapore's Changi Airport. So, it is Singapore's problem to find a way to join to Iskandar leh If 'High Speed Rail Link' were to start at Changi, how to join to Iskandar without going through Woodlands (Singapore Gov't already sounded they do not want to go through Woodlands)?

abang Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Perhaps the authorities should request for public opinion (which we know will NOT be taken in consideration!) about the viable locations of this high-speed rail station... If you had taken the Nozumi shinkansen before, you will realise that the train stops at Shin-Osaka rather than the main Osaka station. I mentioned Newton because it is convenient to commute around as it is fairly central. I cannot imagine the station to be at Tuas because it is a little out of town ....

More investment going to Iskandar project, the more inseperable! IF Malaysia and Singapore relationships become sour (war with Malaysia is totally impossible and it will never happen), we'll be seeing Singaporean businessmen begging and grabbing Singapore's Gov't laam-paar liao. By then, we will be seeing PM visiting Johor Sultan and apologise to Malaysians. (Just like LHL visited Taiwan (see report here [1][2]), LKY immediately flew to China to apologise.) I wonder how come Singapore didn't come out a package deal to negotiate? High Speed Rail Link.is proposed by Malaysia. Singapore do not need it all. After all these years, Singapore is still doing fine without the need of High Speed Rail Link. Malaysia should talk to Thai Government to stretch the linkage rather than "ka-cjeow" Singapore. Without the Iskandar developement (with Singapore's billion dollars investment), High Speed Rail Link plan will not exist at all. However, Malaysian Gov't will not be thankful to Singapore. Singapore "ho-jzar" by Malaysia.

Guest 红花会总舵主 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 KhawBW already mentioned. True enough, Singapore Gov't does not want to station it at Woodlands! Woodlands, Netwon, Rochor are out of the choices. To decide to build it at Changi or Tuas, decision is not Singapore. The ball is on Malaysia's court and Singapore has no bargaining power. Two options now for Singapore Gov't to listen to Malaysia:First Option: Malaysia wants it at Pasir Gudang - then, Singapore must "laan-laan" build it at Changi.ORSecond Option: Malaysia wants it near/at Gelang Patah - then, Singapore must follow Malaysia's stainless steel bull nose hook, stationing it at Tuas. Based on three solid standing points from Malaysian Government,1. Malaysia wants Pasir Gudang to be number two big port/shipyard after Port Klang. No hinderance/obstruction for ships entering Tekong and Ubin.2. Malaysia dislike Changi Airport to be number one.3. Malaysia's east coast is undeveloped yet. Malaysia think for themselves and they choosing the best location - eventually, the track will be on west coast of Malaysia. Tons of opportunity on the West Coast (Southern tip) of Malaysia. Before Malaysia built the Legoland, they already have a blueprint for their future High Speed Rail Link. Now, we can guess and expect what Singapore Gov't going to do next! Dear ex-Malaysian KhawBW, location is no longer a secret. Why not directly announce and share with Singaporeans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
