Tangible economic benefits from HSR

FOR more than a year, going to Singapore has been a ritual for me nearly every weekend. I have experienced basically all modes of shuttling to and fro between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore and found that hoping into my trusted Ford Escape early Saturday morning and returning late Sunday night is the best option for me.

Driving can be tedious but it's something I take enjoyment from. Having a steady vehicle helps a lot and with six CDs of some of my favourite songs all stacked and ready to be listened to, it whittles away the four-hour plus it takes to traverse the often packed highways.
