KUALA LUMPUR: Japan is making an all-out bid for the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) contract to construct South-East Asia’s largest ever infrastructure project.
The Japanese package would be a truly holistic one with the best HSR technology via the first invented and world-renowned high-speed railway system, the Shinkansen, plus total transfer of technology and local vendor development to greatly benefit Malaysian and Singaporean companies, including small and medium enterprises, said Japanese ambassador to Malaysia, Makio Miyagawa.
