HSR UPDATES
After the Request for Information (RFI)period ends on 15.1.2024, the following process is the Request for Proposal ( RFP. )
We expect more or less one month from the closing date, then the government will make a decision on the company that will undertake the (HSR) implementation," said Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan.
Ahmad who was appointed as the Deputy Works Minister earlier today said this when winding up the Supply Bill 2024 debate for the Finance Ministry in the Dewan Negara today.
He said more than 30 industry-related companies including from China, Japan, South Korea, Europe, and local companies have expressed interest to be involved in the HSR project.
He said there is a need for the HSR project to be implemented as soon as possible.
"We hope, if possible, next year it can start, and it may take four to five years, and its cost has increased.
"Previously, it was more or less RM70 billion, now it has gone up to RM100 billion," he said
Webmaster: If the authorities allows succesful private firm to start by mid 2024, hopefully we can see the HSR trains in operation by 2028 or 2029.
