Govt to find ways to lower payment to S'pore for dropping HSR
MAY 28, 2018 15:04 pm +08
PETALING JAYA (May 26): The government will find out how it can reduce the amount of money it has to pay to Singapore if it needs to drop the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail (HSR) project, said Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
"The terms and agreement for the HSR are such that if we decide to drop the project, it would cost us a lot of money. We have entered into an agreement with Singapore. If we break the agreement, we have to pay a very large sum of money," he told The Edge weekly.
The 350km HSR will have a proposed seven stops — Bandar Malaysia, Bangi-Putrajaya, Seremban, Melaka, Muar, Batu Pahat, and Iskandar Puteri — in Malaysia, and Jurong East in Singapore.
The HSR, which is worth RM100 billion, and the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project, which has a contract value of RM60 billion, are two mega infrastructure projects cited by the 92-year-old premier as funded by a borrowing spree that had swelled the national debt to RM1 trillion.
The ECRL is expected to cost RM92 billion by the time it is paid off due to interest, said Mahathir.
"[Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak] knew very well that the ECRL, for example, is something we could not afford. It is not going to serve any purpose. It is not going to give us any returns. And yet, he went ahead and decided to build it.
"The government’s debt ceiling before was very much lower. But he [Najib] didn't care. What he did was he formed a body and then they borrowed. And eventually it [the borrowings] comes back to the government to pay," he said.
He called the previous government's attempt to rollout both multibillion-ringgit projects at once as "crazy".
"He didn't seem to think about how we were going to pay for all these," he said.
Mahathir added that the contract for the ECRL is "strange", as the terms state that the contractor must be from China while the borrowings of RM55 billion to fund the project must also come from the country.
Moreover, the funds must also be kept abroad to pay the contractor, who will be paid based on a pre-determined timetable and not progress of work done.
china's set no limits for our palm oil export hopping to get HSR project, if PH government terminate HSR, ECRL. what's going to happened if china cut down demands on malaysia palm oil ? ECRL is important for future goods delivery to eastern ports due to thailand may team up with china to start on CRA CANAL bypass project any time soon. what's the impacts of malaysia western seaports after cra canal project completed ?

KUALA LUMPUR (May 28): The decision to drop plans to build the high-speed rail link between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore is final, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said, adding that it could see Malaysia facing up to RM500 million in penalty.
Speaking to reporters after chairing Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia’s meeting today, the Prime Minister said he has yet to verify whether the 500 million amount would be in ringgit or Singapore dollars, or any other currency for that matter.
“I have not seen the [terms of the] KL-Singapore high-speed rail (HSR) agreement, but I am told that we may pay as much as RM500 million in compensation (for scrapping the deal)...we will try to manage it at the least cost possible,” he said.
“I have yet to verify (whether the penalty would be denominated in ringgit), but I suppose it will be in the ringgit,” he added.
When asked if scrapping the project is a final decision from the Pakatan Harapan government, Dr Mahathir said yes.
"The HSR...it is only a short track. It is not beneficial to us," he said.
In an interview with the Financial Times published today, Dr Mahathir was quoted as saying that Malaysia "needs to do away with some of the unnecessary projects, for example the high-speed rail, which is going to cost us RM110 billion and will not earn us a single cent. That will be dropped".
On April 5, MyHSR Corp Sdn Bhd had announced that the consortium of Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd and Gamuda Bhd had been selected as project delivery partner (PDP) for the northern portion of the KL-Singapore HSR project alignment, while another consortium by the name of Syarikat Pembenaan Yeoh Tiong Lay Sdn Bhd-TH Properties Sdn Bhd had been selected for the southern part.
The PDPs will be responsible for the designing and delivery of KL-Singapore HSR's civil works at an agreed cost and schedule.
Eight stations were being planned for the KL-Singapore HSR project, namely Bandar Malaysia, Sepang-Putrajaya, Seremban, Melaka, Muar, Batu Pahat and Iskandar Puteri stations in Malaysia, and the Jurong East station in Singapore. Operations of the KL-Singapore HSR service was targeted for commencement by Dec 31, 2026.
The HSR project would cut travel time between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur to 90 minutes, compared with more than four hours by car.
again, the news may affect the sentiment , but in fundamental, i see this is nothing to do with gkent. Perhaps you should post this news to gamuda, ytl, mmcorp, thanks. This is easier to cause panic there.
