KL-Singapore high-speed link proposal to be made soon
PETALING JAYA: A proposal for a high-speed train from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore using the magnetic levitation (maglev) technology will soon be submitted to the Government, industry sources said.
The sources also said the Government would soon appoint an international consulting firm to study the various proposals for the high-speed rail link to Singapore.
The maglev is the train system that links Shanghai’s Pudong airport with its financial district and was the first installation of its kind in the world.
The journey of 30km takes about seven minutes. The maglev train in Shanghai can reach speeds of up to 350km per hour in two minutes, although new generation trains being developed on this technology can go even faster, it is understood.
