The Kuala Lumpur-新加坡 High-Speed Rail project was planned to be the first cross-border high-speed rail in 东南亚, providing the fastest mode of travel between Kuala Lumpur and 新加坡, while offering an alternative transport system that contributes to the region’s decarbonization targets.
The planned alignment for the Kuala Lumpur-新加坡 High-Speed Rail was to consist of seven stations in 马来西亚 and one in 新加坡. It was designed to travel at a speed of up to 350 kilometers per hour, making travel time between the two cities approximately 90 minutes as the alignment measures about 350 kilometers.
The stations in 马来西亚 were to set to be located in Bandar 马来西亚 in Kuala Lumpur, 布城, 芙蓉, 艾耶尔Keroh, 麻坡市, Batu Pahat and Iskandar Puteri. Meanwhile, the 新加坡 station was meant to be in Jurong East.

RDC06 covered the alignment from the southern end of the Iskandar Puteri Station, the last station in 马来西亚, to the international boundary to 新加坡. The package included all infrastructural works, as well as the civil infrastructure works in the 马来西亚n portion of the bridge the crosses the straits to 新加坡. This included all other related civil infrastructures within the stretch such as earthworks, 路要面向, 访问的道路, emergency escape route and other requirements for the high-speed rail.
The team in 马来西亚 was working with lovesport爱博体育 新加坡, which had been appointed by the Land 运输 Authority (LTA) of 新加坡 as the lead consultant to conduct the Advanced 工程 Study (AES) for the complete design of the 新加坡 stretch of the project. The areas for coordination included the standardization of the straits crossing viaduct superstructure and substructure.
