PUTRAJAYA, June 12 — Transport Minister Anthony Loke said today that a negotiating party consisting of the Finance, Economics Affairs, and Transport ministers will make a trip to neighbours Singapore to iron out a deal concerning the Kuala Lumpur Singapore High Speed Railway (HSR) project.
“As it was announced last week, we will still negotiate with Singapore.
“We, the Finance, Economic, and Transport ministers will go to Singapore and negotiate this deal,” clarified Loke.
Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today said that the proposed high-speed rail (HSR) project connecting Malaysia’s capital city to Singapore in the south has not been cancelled.
In an interview with Japanese media published in the Asian Nikkei Review last night, Dr Mahathir explained that the project was put on the backburner because of its exorbitant cost

Don;t be mislead of the title, actually it is just a polite way to talk with singapore. No cancelled, but also didn't state that when will be start back again, maybe years later or 20 or 50 years later. But in short term 5 years sure not resume.
