SEOUL, Sept 12 – Selection of the technology provider for the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail (HSR) is still open, says MyHSR Corporation Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Datuk Mohd Nur Ismal Mohamed Kamal.
“As far as we are concerned, the more choices we have in terms of advanced service providers, the better off for us in terms of securing value for Malaysia,” he told Bernama when met at the Global Infrastructure Cooperation Conference (GICC) 2024 recently.
On Monday, a news report said that three consortiums had been shortlisted for the multi-bullion ringgit project, namely Berjaya Rail Sdn Bhd, YTL Construction Sdn Bhd and China Railway Construction.
However, Mohd Nur Ismal was non-committal when urged for confirmation.
“Let’s just wait for the government to decide,” he said.
The news report also stated that the government is expected to make a decision regarding the project by the end of this year.
