RM110bil HSR project is due to ‘hidden costs’

Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said that the overall Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail (HSR) project was estimated to be over RM110bil due to the hidden costs, which was not revealed by the previous government. He added that the figure included the expenditure for land acquisition. The
Barisan Nasional-led government predicted the project to cost between RM55bil and RM74bil.
