Singapore's INSANE Biggest Rail Project that Shocked THE WORLD! 

I’ve never heard anyone struggle as much with the pronunciation of Kuala Lumpur! But then again I commend any American who knows a bit about the world beyond their borders.

"to transform Singapore into a high-income nation" You might be surprised to know that Singapore is already one of the highest-income nations in the world. It has the world's 4th highest GDP per capita.

The project has already been cancelled. There are discussions to restart it but as of writing this comment, the project has already been cancelled.

Why are you reading Js like Hs? This is not Spanish. You know how to read Malaysia correctly, but you read Malay peninsula like May Lay peninsula.

I just can't The pronunciation of Johor = Your Hor, and Jurong = Yurong just gets me rolling. You don't pronounce juice as yuice though, so why?! 😂

Hopefully Malaysia will have a wise Prime Minister to collaborate with Singapore to have a HSR system to become a Win-Win situation for both countries 🙏

1:02 South East Asia's first high-speed rail (HSR) project is expected to connect the country's largest cities of Jakarta and Bandung, Indonesia

Only in Thailand and Indonesia HSR project are under construction

Clickbait. 1) nothing insane about the plan. 2) It's MALAYSIA's plan. 3) It has been cancelled (as many comments here already pointed out) 4) Malaysia has re-initiated talks to restart the project, but this is still talk at this stage. 5) Land that Singapore had initially set aside for the terminal of the HSR in Singapore has been re-allocated for other uses after Malaysia cancelled the plan in 2021. IF talks are re-started and plans for an HSR is once again agreed, Singapore will have to find another piece of land for the terminal. 6) As discussion for a (2nd) plan for HSR are in the early stages, and as the Malaysian govt is currently just coming out of the pandemic, and also trying to re-stabilise itself after 4 years or so of instability, nothing has been decided or settled, or committed. So the "facts" in this video are either reporting the previous (now cancelled) plans, or speculating as to future agreements which have not been settled.

Come and listen again my friend, hopefully the channel is growing and getting more successful amen👍

In Malaysia and Singapore we never silence our J's.

RIP this project thanks to corona and political condition in Malaysia

Very nice

SUPER

Nice

This project is already cancel and Malaysia is to pay compensation to Singapore…..so nothing much exciting

Realy I like this video so so much

The HSR is good for both Sg and My. Hope it comes true soon.

I'm an aging slow moving Singaporean likes it. Safe energy & time too.🙄🤔tnks.🙏🤝

HSR is Malaysia project not Singapore..plan by Malaysian govt KL to SINGAPORE but already cancelled due to some major problem..

everything expansive in singapore also shocked the world. wondering any natural like hiking, waterfall dive natural beach in singapore ???

To have a smart leader are so important!!

Singapore already is and has been a high income nation for over 10 years at over USD 50,000 nominal per capita GDP. The project's conception was essentially Malaysian in origin.

What an 'insane' title for this RU-vid video ( pun intended )

Anyone with understanding of local politics will know this project is long dead before it can be revive.

Thank you PM Najib Razak for a far-sighted vision for Malaysia.

Project had been terminated long long time ago.

the info in this video is so outdated. is it an reupload of old video?

Clickbait title. Please do more research before posting such videos.

The pronunciation is killing me

For your info it's Malaysia's project.

This was Malaysia babies not us..!

What are you talking,Singapore is already high income long time

Is roti prata one or two words?

Don't worry! Next year in June 2023 Indonesian HSR is already operational. Thank us anytime because you can taste it next door and don't need to wait until 2030.

Please pronounce properly! Johor is not Yohor, Jurong is not Yurong!

indonesia build first

Standard gauge?

Now they want to continue this project

The video title could not have been more clickbait.

This project is not Singapore project. Singapore don't have high speed railway technology. It is actually Malaysia-China project (one of the China's belt and road project). Malaysia get large loans from China and have huge debt due to this project. The project has already been cancelled because the cost is too high. After 1MDB corruption scandal, Malaysia is trying to clear its debt and the previous Malaysia PM Mahathir cancelled part of the project that link the high speed rail to Singapore. The final railway station will be at the border near Singapore. However, the current Malaysia PM is trying to restart the project because clearing the custom between Malaysia and Singapore is a pain in the ass for many commuters. There are queues that last for hours to get through the custom during the holiday.

The High Speed Rail stations for KL and SG are mostly on Malaysian side and hence income of its Malaysian people is not an affordable fare for Malaysian people to travel to SG and to travel within Malaysia, as well, too. Therefore it had to be cancelled, even though it costs KL to pay compensation of S$102.8 million as reimbursement to SG on ground work done by SG on SG side. Malaysia should build their own High Speed Rail within Malaysia at their own affordability of distance length of High Speed Train to meet and serve their peoples' travel within Malaysia. They can then add an MRT, Mass Rapid Transit system, from HSR Johor to Singapore's causeway side of MRT station, for connection to the Malaysian's Johore side MRT station for transfer platform to Johore HSR station. Some disconnected wait time is expected at this transfer Johore platform if poor timing of HSR and MRT train connectivity management is not maintained and sustained all the time. The breakdown cost of HSR will be on the Malaysian side. The cost of delay and loss of fares from cancellation of HSR scheduled trains will be on the Malaysian side too. Hence, SG will not to bear these common unrecoverable costs from train delays, train cancellations, absenting employees, breakdown of trains, fare loss resulted from interrupted breakdown trains, that mainly come from most of the HSR trains and stations in the Malaysian side. Hence, instead of Singapore in paying for them, They have no worry of them as Singapore will pay for their own one station at causeway or max at three stations only.

This project already in limbo and you still sleeping. This is not insane this is fermented news

It shock me because I live at malaysia

Singapore is just a tiny island, it could be easily invaded and occupied by Malaysia or Indonesia.

When a rich neighbour has grand dreams and aspirations that a poorer neighbour can't begin to fathom. No secret why Boleh Land is still Tak Boleh after all decades.

Why are you saying Yurong and Yohor... it's a freaking J not y

To extend from Vietnam, through Thailand

“To transform Singapore into a high income nation.” Are you implying Singapore current income isn’t high to the roof enough? LMAO

What in the photoshop thumbnail is that?

british english. the Js are pronounced by both countries. also the project is cancelled.

Is it go build ? Or hold on ?

SG already wasted their time and money on this talk when something is said and discussed, it should hold a certain weight on their choice and decision and by this, I meant Malaysia always change their mind on everything and cause more problems then solutions. If these leaders can simply "change" their mind so easily over important decision making, what type of nation would follow suit from these action? It just simply a reflection of their own words that carry no value.

One Belt

The project got cancelled. A YEAR AGO

I have seen it

This project was halted by Mahatier, crocked business PM of Malaysia resulting in payments for 1year pause n finally termination, to Singapore gov.

It's Joh hor and jhu rong

I’m so shocked that you are bringing up this old news for click baits..

It was the old fox that called off the project. He is jealous of Singapore's successes and the late LKY's brilliance outshining him. He would put obstacles to progress and bashed Singapore at every election time to divert attention on his countries' woes. He would rather sacrifice his country"s benefits than to benefit a win-win situation for people of both countries. Thank god he is getting really old and no longer in power. Let's hope the HSR will resume soon with the new leadership in Malaysia.

To call it “Singapore’s insane rail project” when less than 10% of the line is in Singapore is very click baity.

I can’t with the Jurong and johor pronounce

This is not singapore project to begin with..its was started by malaysia..a lot wrong info in this vid

Love the video but the pronunciation pains me

IT'S A JOINT MALAYSIA/SINGAPORE PROJECT.MALAYSIA IS HEAVILY INDEBTED.THAT SO CALL HIGH SPEED RAIL CAPACITY TOO LOW.BIG $ PROJECTS MEANS $ TO BE DIVERTED TO BENEFIT MALAYSIA POLITICIANS THATS THE ONLY SURE THING.

Get the pronunciations correct if you want to make stock video

One Belt And Rail to extend from my Vi we

Isn't this history?

come on

There are a lot of inaccuracies and exaggerated facts. Why should the world be SHOCKED by a 350 km HSR? So many countries in the world already have HSR. To call it a Singapore rail project is again very misleading, it is proposed and led by Malaysia as only a few km of the HSR line will be in Singapore.

What is a "termi-noose"??? 🤣

Where was the shock?

As soon as the mispronunciations started piling up - I stopped.

Its not a Singapore project. You got it all wrong 🤣

As long as Mahathir is still alive all major infrastructure works remains threatened. Only Mahathir is allowed to build billion dollars project like the Petronas Twin Towers and the North South Highway. So Dr Wee Ka Siong who is Hainanese is able to speak to Lawrence Wong in Hainanese except in English.

Clickbait? hmm alot of wrong info could be due to outdated resources that was cited or not............but still for the youtube moneh!

Its over...

The marathon nego has been on off for the past 10 years. Malaysia politicians will keep RE ROUTEING as EVERY new team will hv to buy cheap land along the route first. Is this video a propaganda or a silly global Promo ?

"INSANE" and "Shocked" = *CLICK BAIT* = not watching this video.

Only when Prime Minister change will this might happens. Or in 2035-2045.😜

I believe 99% of this project was in Malaysia territory

The malaysian expected tea money. That's why Malaysia cancelled the project. No brainer.

What a load of bs that this presenter has given who can’t even pronounce the names of these Malaysian & SG people properly, who were involved in this dreamers’ project. This so called hsr project won’t be happening anytime soon or in the future if it were to be built by the locals who don’t have the technology nor any expertise in constructing the hsr system like those in China which has the world’s largest network of HSR. None of these 2 countries in question, have a fast speed train system in operation other than the regular diesel or electric train system which is now running between the two countries. Besides, if this HSR project were to be realized for the two countries in the foreseeable future, their system would definitely not be the first HSR in SE Asia, coz’ Laos & Indonesia have their HSR system already in operation, which were built by China.

This is a AI-created video. That's why you have intrinsic problem with pronunciation.

Project already cancelled

So many misinformation 😢

Will benefit singapore more than malaysia given singapore pays a small fraction of the entire costs. As far as malaysia is concerned, it does not give much benefit to the general population as this mode of transport is privatised and fares would be beyond the means of ordinary folks who besides have alternatives of cheaper bus travel. A white elephant to be which will benefit Singapore more than malaysia. It was cancelled by the opposition party which came to power to eradicate the excesses of kleptocrats

Okey....the project is cancelled 😅

lol the project are cancel lol.

Sorry mate. As of today it has not mature into reality yet.

LMAO...

This project is scrapped. Many thanks to Mahathir. This is the ONE good thing Mahathir has done for Singapore. This is NOT Singapore's rail project. This is Malaysia's High Speed Rail. 99% of the rail is within Malaysia and 1% is within Singapore. Malaysia has been trying to arm twist Singapore to allow a {No Tenders - Corruption Infested} organisation to oversee the project funding. Malaysia has openly asked for "Soft Loans". Do NOT restart this. Singapore will be ripped off.

the real reason mahathir cancel is the stn is on land don't belong mahathir cronies. also everyone know he really hate to c spore succeed. he is the reason why malaysia is in such bad shape

SGP and MY already high income economies，and butchering of local names

Whatever the project should not entail high debts for Malaysia and as said by many Singapore is so wealthy high income country and so fantastic etc though it's so tiny no land or water to survive w coffin like aprt like Hkong or Japan .very high cost of living w many Singaporeans trying to run to Msia so poor not well governed and low ringgit.. Whatever the case any project should be cancelled just to save queves at crossings.not spendthrift Mahathir big show off tyrant w off shore accounts killing off other PM thinking hes the only one even in his 90s....similar to LKYew until his death succeeded by own son mybe grandson a dictator family forever of Singapore ..so wealthy yet poor in basics....

yuwrong pala bapak kau! 🤣🤣 Jurong - pronounced as jewrong

Singapore is a very little country, thus any mid-size project consider a mega project.
