SINGAPORE, Jan 2 — A grand plan to cut travel time between Singapore and Malaysia from four hours by car to 90 minutes by high-speed rail came to a halt yesterday, a decade after it was mooted by former Malaysian prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak. Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his Malaysian counterpart Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said yesterday that both countries failed to reach an agreement on changes proposed by Malaysia by the deadline of December 31, 2020, and a bilateral agreement signed in 2016 on the project would be terminated.
