Yesterday, a relative commented: "this KL-SIN link is a waste of money and should not be built. What benefits are there to Singapore that justify the investment?" Wu li you leh... other than easier for Singaporeans to buy more Malaysian stuff, plus go Genting more often, I can't think of tangible benefits TO Singapore.
It is not for us to weigh the pros and cons. The government of both sides must have already done the costs & benefits analysis in order to carry out this mega project. On top of that, it can also be politically motivated. History will tell us whether it is good to have this speed rail; just like the building of the 2 casinos.
