This is the Eastern Hainan High Speed Rail (HSR) line, one of the two fast train lines on the island. Malaysia’s HSR project delivery vehicle MyHSR Corp said it had finalised the corridor for “almost” the whole alignment stretch from KL to Nusajaya. The much-awaited Kuala Lumpur-Singapore HSR project is expected to be inked very soon. It also has plans to connect via HSR its southern provincial capital of Kunming near Myanmar, through to Laos, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. Zhao said the enterprises would not come under China Railway’s purview, and that they were independent of the rail company.
