The Kuala Lumpur – Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) project connects Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru with Singapore cutting travel time to within 90 mins.

Malaysian agency MyHSR expects land for the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) project to be acquired by the third quarter of 2017, after the alignment plan’s public display by the middle of the year, reported The Star. Tasked with overseeing the bilateral project, MyHSR is now looking at parcels of land measuring 50m wide that can be used as the final alignment from the terminus at Bandar Malaysia in KL.

Clement Canopy launching soon in 2017 is beside NUS High and Nan Hua High and a short walk to Clementi Mall and only one MRT stop to Jurong East to shop at JEM, JCube, Westgate, Bigbox, etc

The 50m-wide band will house not only the tracks, but also a buffer zone for safety purposes considering that the trains could travel by up to 350kmh, said Mohd Nur Ismal Kamal, CEO of MyHSR.
“A mix of private and state land will be acquired, though a lot of them run through plantations,” he said.
The project is expected to achieve two milestones by Q1 2017.

Lake Grande is an attractive condo project that investors and property hunters love. This project is situated at the doorstep of Jurong Central Business District and HSR and offers convenience that is unmatched.

The first is the announcement of the tender to appoint a joint development partner (JDP). Singapore and Malaysia will jointly award the tender for the JDP, which will provide advice on technical, operational and procurement matters, particularly in relation to the project’s system aspect.
MyHSR will also release the result of the tender for the services of reference design consultants (RDC) for the Malaysian stretch by Q1 2017, said Mohd Nur.

Sol Acres Executive Condo (EC) is the top selling EC in Singapore for many consecutive months in 2016 including Dec partly due to its status as a 'subsidised' condo and strategic location near Jurong East CBD

“The RDCs will look at the respective stations and alignments to optimise them all, though it will be more from the civil engineering perspective.” He explained that the future HSR stations will be built in new areas not far from existing population and business centres, so as not to negate the time savings from HSR by the longer travel time for the last mile.

“The stations also need to be big enough to cater to the expected and future ridership, and have ample space for development around them,” he added.
“We have to balance between these factors.”

The Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) is a strategic project between the Governments of Malaysia and Singapore to facilitate seamless travel between the two capital cities, enhance business linkages, and connect the peoples of both countries closer together.

The Kuala Lumpur–Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) project was announced by the Malaysian Prime Minister Najib in September 2010 to connect Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru with Singapore. On 19 February 2013, Singapore and Malaysia officially agreed to build a high-speed rail link between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore by 2020 at a meeting between Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Malaysia’s Prime Minister Najib Razak in Singapore.

The construction of the highspeed railway was expected to start in the third quarter of 2015. However, an update by the Malaysian Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) now places the commencement of works to be in 2017, with the completion in 2026.
