KEPALA BATAS (PENANG) - THE government has not made a decision on the RM8 billion (S$3.5 billion) Kuala Lumpur-Singapore bullet train project, Second Finance Minister Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop has said.
'The project has yet to materialise,' he told reporters yesterday after presenting financial aid to 134 families whose homes were damaged when a storm lashed their village here last Thursday.
He was speaking in reaction to a newspaper report on a protest by the Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad Workers Union over the proposed project, to be built by YTL Corp.
YTL had proposed the project for the bullet train service to cut down travelling time between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to just 90 minutesfrom six to eight hours by normal rail services.
