Malaysia should not scrap High-Speed Rail project with Singapore: Johor crown prince
By Amir Yusof @AmirYusofCNA 19 Jul 2018 04:48PM (Updated: 20 Jul 2018 12:39AM) JOHOR BAHRU: Malaysia should not withdraw from the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur High-Speed Rail (HSR) project, Johor crown prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim told Channel NewsAsia in an exclusive interview on Thursday (Jul 19). "I think it's a very, very positive project that we should continue because it will not only help Johor but also Singapore," he said. "It will boost the economy in Johor, maybe to have more foreign investment coming in. The HSR is a very positive project that we should proceed and continue (with), that's my personal opinion." However, he said whether to proceed with the project was "up to the government" of Malaysia. "There's nothing I can do because at the end of the day it's between the governments," he said. Malaysia Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad first said in media reports in May that Malaysia intends to scrap the project which was agreed upon with Singapore by the former federal government. However, Singapore has said that it has not received any formal notice of this from its neighbour. On Wednesday, Malaysia's Economic Affairs Minister Mohamed Azmin Ali said he will be discussing the issue with Singapore's Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan to find the best solution in the best interest of both countries. Dr Mahathir on Thursday took a different stance, telling reporters the country may defer the project instead of scrapping it after studying the costs and implications of cancelling the project. Malaysia had accrued debts and liabilities of more than RM1 trillion under the previous administration, Malaysia's Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng had said. The new Pakatan Harapan government has made reducing that debt a priority and has been reviewing several mega projects in a bid to trim down debts and liabilities. When asked about how the project may affect Malaysia's national debt, Tunku Ismail said: "At the end of the day, they are the government. They should judge what is necessary and what's not necessary. It's not my place and not my position to know what's the financial status of the country." Read more at https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news...-rail-10544316

Malaysia to negotiate deferment of High-Speed Rail with Singapore: Mahathir
By Sumisha Naidu @SumishaCNA 19 Jul 2018 11:33AM (Updated: 19 Jul 2018 12:19PM) KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said his government will look to negotiate with Singapore the deferment of the High-Speed Rail (HSR) project. Dr Mahathir said previously he would cancel the rail link between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, and would discuss with Singapore about any compensation that has to be paid. "When we looked at the financial situation of the country we thought that we couldn't go ahead (with the HSR),” he told reporters in parliament. “But having studied it and the implication of unilaterally discarding the contract, we decided we may have to do it at a later date, we may have to reduce the price. But reduction of the price is very difficult as far as we can make out. So it has to be deferred." Economic Affairs Minister Azmin Ali on Wednesday said he planned to visit Singapore by the end of July to discuss the status of the agreement entered into by the previous Najib Razak-led government. Singapore on Jun 1 sent Malaysia a diplomatic note to seek clarification on the HSR project. There has been no reply to the note, although the Malaysian government has informed Singapore that it will propose dates for a meeting by Jul 31. Pakatan Harapan took over after the Mahathir-led coalition won the general elections on May 9. It has been reviewing several mega projects as part of their election pledges and to trim down on debts and liabilities. "Singapore wants to know what's our stand, but officially now we are sending the minister," said Dr Mahathir. Read more at https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news...apore-10543434

'Need to make clear decision now' on High-Speed Rail project: Malaysia’s economic minister
By Melissa Goh @MelGohCNA 20 Jul 2018 07:43AM (Updated: 20 Jul 2018 07:50AM) KUALA LUMPUR: To suspend or to terminate? That is the question faced by Malaysia’s economic affairs minister Mohamed Azmin Ali, who is leading a task force that will decide the fate of the High-Speed Rail (HSR) project, which the new government has claimed will cost RM110 billion (US$27 billion). Signed between Malaysia and Singapore government in December 2016, the 350km HSR project - linking Kuala Lumpur and Singapore - was slated to be operational by the end of 2026. But Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad announced he would scrap the project after the new Pakatan Harapan government was elected into power in May. Two months on, the Singapore Government has yet to be officially notified by their Malaysia counterparts. To date, about S$250 million have been spent by Singapore on the project. Speaking to Channel NewsAsia on Thursday, Azmin acknowledged that the time has come to decide once and for all the status of the HSR project. This comes after Mahathir hinted on Thursday that a deferment may be the only option, as unilateral cancellation was just going to be too costly. “We need to make a clear decision now. In the event we want to defer, the entire process needs to be reviewed; we can’t just slow it down, we have to either suspend it now or terminate it,” said Azmin. Azmin on Thursday said he plans to meet Singapore’s Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan before the end of the month to discuss the way forward. A JUST AND EQUITABLE SOLUTION Whatever the outcome, he assured, it will be just and equitable to both sides. While he is still trying to unbundle the whole process, Azmin said he understands that many parties were involved, from government bodies to multinational companies who took part in the international bidding. “There are so many packages. I need to know how many packages have been awarded and how many are still open to bidders, because the stakeholders are not government entities, they are also other international multinational companies," he said. “We do appreciate they have incurred operating expenses in the last few months." But he declined to comment on the status of the tender process, especially for the train carriages and tracks that is scheduled to close on Dec 28. Azmin added that under the agreement, it is lawful for either party to want to terminate the agreement. Singapore, he said, is entitled to claim for compensation and there is a formula provided in the contract to work out the amount. “They have every right to put up their claims, we need to sit down and verify those claims,” he said.

Johor, not federal gov’t, should decide on water issue with S’pore, says state’s Crown Prince
By Andrew Loh - July 20, 2018 The crown prince of Johor, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, said the state, instead of the federal government, should decide on the water issue with Singapore. In an interview with Channel Newsasia (CNA), Tunku Ismail said the water agreement was one between Johor and Singapore. “At the end of the day, the water in Johor belongs to Johor,” he said. “Water is state sovereignty. When it comes to religion, land and water, it belongs to the state. Therefore, I think it’s the Johor state government (that) should decide. (I prefer) not to have federal interference when it comes to water between Johor and Singapore,” said Tunku Ismail in the interview. In recent weeks, since the opposition Pakatan Harapan swept to power in the elections in May, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamed has raised the price of water as an issue which he said needed to be renegotiated with Singapore. Singapore buys untreated water from Malaysia for 3 sen (or 1 cent in Sing dollar) per 1,000 gallons, and sells treated water to Malaysia for 50 sens. Dr Mahathir described this as “manifestly ridiculous”, although both countries had signed the agreement on price in 1962. The deal is effective until 2060. Under the agreement, Singapore can draw up to 250 million gallons of water per day from the Johor River. In response to Dr Mahathir’s remarks, Singapore said both sides must comply fully with all the provisions of the agreements. When asked by CNA for his opinion on the matter, Tunku Ismail said he would “have to look at it”, but said that any revision to the agreement should be a “win-win” for Singapore and Johor. “At the end of the day, we are neighbours,” he said. He added that he did not want a working relationship [with Singapore] that will last only for the next 10 years, but “we want it to last for the next 50 years, next 100 years.” Commenting on the High Speed Rail (HSR) project between Singapore and Malaysia, Tunku Ismail said the HSR “is something very necessary” and that it was a “very very positive project which we should continue.” “It will boost the economy in Johor, maybe to have more foreign investment coming in. The HSR is a very positive project that we should proceed and continue, that’s my personal opinion.” continue reading here : http://theindependent.sg/johor-not-f...-crown-prince/

Speaking to reporters at the Malaysian Parliament on 19 July, he said that the decision to negotiate a deferment was made after "having studied it [Malaysia's financial situation] and the implication of unilaterally discarding the contract". "When we looked at the financial situation of the country, we thought that we couldn't go ahead (with the HSR),” he said. “But having studied it and the implication of unilaterally discarding the contract, we decided we may have to do it at a later date, we may have to reduce the price. But reduction of the price is very difficult as far as we can make out. So it has to be deferred." Malaysia's Minister of Economic Affairs, Azmin Ali said that he has made plans to meet Singapore’s Minister for Transport, Khaw Boon Wan, by the end of this month to discuss the status of the HSR agreement. “We need to make a clear decision now. In the event we want to defer, the entire process needs to be reviewed; we can’t just slow it down, we have to either suspend it now or terminate it,” said Azmin. He added that it is lawful for either party to want to terminate the agreement as stipulated in the agreement itself. Azmin elaborated that Singapore is entitled to claim for compensation as a result of a termination, and that there is a formula provided in the contract to calculate the appropriate amount of compensation. Speaking to reporters at the Malaysian Parliament, he said: “Everything. We will look and revisit all the terms and conditions in the agreement. Everything. The entire project needs to be reviewed.” According to Singapore's Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Minister for Transport, Singapore had sent Malaysia a diplomatic note on 1 Jun, seeking clarification on the HSR project. continue reading here : https://www.theonlinecitizen.com/201...rime-minister/
