K Tan Don - And Malaysia must pay the compensation to Singapore as specified in the agreement.
(No roti prata rule of law).
Enough of 1 lawless Trump terrorising the World and breaking Global deals.
South East Asia and Asia don't need another roti-prata Dr M to terrorise Asia and break rules.

Han Fung Victor Tan yes. I bet on completion of hsr malaysia will be loosimg billions
Take a good look at ktm
How much does ktm makes annually from north south line?
For singapore their line and maintainance is lower then malaysia.
Mrt lost 60million for year 2018 isnt it? So how much will hsr on malaysian side will looses annually?
Takes taiwan hsr.. are they really making monies?

There are always some misperception about justifying high cost infrastructure project - and he correlation to direct collection of fees to recoup the capital cost.
Cost & Benefit Analysis done in this manner - will always result in a project no go - because multi-million or billions infra cost - will never be able to be recoup by collection of fares.
It is the Economic activities provided by the infra access - that need to be added into the equation of the Cost & Benefit Analysis - before a project can be determined if indeed cost outweigh benefits or benefits outweigh costs.
Because if the CBA is negative, our side will never approve this project and this project will never have gone ahead - because our side are usually very careful in spending our taxpayers money.
I think there is no need to teach Dr M smart.
But since this is a Malaysia project - no point to make Malaysian smart - just go ahead to cancel it ---- but make sure Malaysia pay Singapore the compensation as per the agreement.

Scenario 1
Thus for a politicians who want to cancel the HSR project, it will justify CBA by :-
(1) Computing planning, design, building and operation cost of HSR.
(2) Computing fare charges for the duration of the lifespan of HSR.
Outcome :- Cost > Benefits = Project not feasible.
Conclusion :- Project Cancel
Scenario 2
For CBA calculated based on Economic Benefits:-
(1) Computing planning, design, building and operation cost of HSR.
(2) Computing fare charges for the duration of the lifespan of HSR.
(3) Projected Economic Activities and the Multiplier Effects. (No need to elaborate - why make Dr M smart?)
Outcome :- Cost < Benefits = Project is it feasible (go and guess)
Conclusion :- Project to go ahead or not (go and guess).
Since Malaysia is not keen on the HSR project - go ahead to work out the CBA based on scenario 1 - and kill the project.
(But remember to compensate Singapore based on the agreement).
Then we can close the chapter amicably.
