    ECRL would be a game changer for Malaysia. It would unlock most the interior & unproductive area of peninsular. More over, Malaysia didn't need to pay tolls to transport the goods from west coast to east coast.

It takes around 10-12 hrs now to travel between these two place right now but will be reduced to under 4 hrs. Difference is that Krail project will have max speed of 220km/hr.

      Yes. I was one of those naysayers with regards the Penang Bridge back in the 1980s and if I recall right, the opposition (political parties and NGOs) were expressing concerns that it would become a "white elephant" but now that the opposition is the Penang state government, there are two Penang bridges and a proposed undersea tunnel.
      Same naysaying with regards the LRT lines and monorail in the Klang Valley back in the 1990s, which are a great public convenience and very affordable today, which is heavily used, except less now due to COVID-19. Also RE the MRT to Kajang, which is packed especially during peak periods, though perhaps less now due to COVID-19.

Canceling or delaying the project will paint the bad image to the Belt and Road initiative. That was why NED was happy as reported. His cronies also benefited when the new route goes south.

Human capital is not enough to kickstart economic growth especially there’s a strict law for peninsular people to visit sabah and sarawak because we only have 90 days stay permit. Doing business there is difficult in many ways. Scarce population is one of the challenges. However state capital of kuching should already have lrt or similar trains to accommodate economic activities there. Kuching to sabah is not feasible at the moment

    Why the decision on standard gauge? Isn't Malaysia using meter gauge? I'm not from Malaysia, but since this project expects freight use too, I would think a common gauge is even more important so freight trains from elsewhere can use as well.

    • @thomaslau1214

      Standard gauge is more or less international standard for both passenger and freight trains, used in Britain, US, China etc. Do not know what you referring as common. India board gouge or Russian gauge?

      Most if not all ASEAN members use the meter gauge though to link to the Eurasian systems, this gauge is an issue. Being located south of China, the immediate is via China to the rest of Eurasian landmass, then the international standard gauge of 1.483 will jive with China and EU, though in between you still have the Soviet gauge of 1.520 m to cope with. I believe the proposed China-Russian HSR is based on the international gauge.
      As far as ASEAN members are concerned, notwithstanding their meter gauge, the axle load rating also differ, hence the complication of the issue of standardization across ASEAN! The China-Laos link is based on standard international gauge which will the same when the Bangkok line is linked to it! It would appear only Malaysian lines are new but with the exception of the ECRL line, the rest is meter gauge!

      Geography wise, it's 50/50 probability of east coast would be as populous as the westside, since the terrain is mostly comprised of untouched forests, marshes, peat bogs and mountains. Population tends to centralize in coastal areas than in the interior, but areas in central pahang like temerloh and maran may experience rapid development from this project, including bentong, given credit to its proximity to KL and the former. Bentong is most likely to enter a drastic transition from a sleepy town to a bustling satellite city of KL, just like Seremban, since both are quite close to KL. Aside of this, another initiative to ensure both coasts are equally developed is to promote foreign investment to promising cities of the eastside like Kuantan, Kuala Terengganu and Kota Bharu. Next, besides the Klang-Kuantan line, rail connections between ports of the west coast and the east coast must be increased, so my suggestions would be Tanjung Pelepas - Kuantan and Penang - either to Pengkalan Chepa or to Kuantan as well.

If the government build such ECRL from Kuching to Tawau, how long do you think the project will reach ROI considering the number of population in Sabah & Sarawak plus Brunei. At least for the east coast the container cargo train from North Port to Kuantan Port will sustain & expedite the ROI since it's expected to generate 70% income. The cargo train will cut short time taken to ferry containers from Europe, Middle East & South Asia to China. Unload at North Port and reload again at Kuantan Port for faster shipping to China. Only 30% is contributed by commuters.

If you put in some stations n between, guess the train has to start decelerating even before achieving 200kmh, else how to make sure train can stop at Melaka without misshap?
      Last time before SG Buloh Kepong MRT was completed… they say it can achieve 70KMH, when finally commissioned to run in real life, the only stretch where it can briefly touch 70 is somewhere between Kelana and Sg Buloh. Within KL, I see most of the stretches get an average 35kmh? Because there are many stretches where the train has to climb a gradient and manuveur snaky curves, you cannot push that to 70 without jumping the rail.

    The last amount Japan offered was $ 6.1 billion
    China is $ 5.5 billion. No need for financial burden from Indonesia.It was a contract to say...
    But now it's over $ 6.6 billion. Eventually expected to exceed $ 8 billion.
    Interest rate in Japan is 0.1%. Interest rate in China is 2%.
    If nothing is done, the joint venture railway company will go bankrupt. Widdo has invested national funds...
    China is not keeping its promise...
    Not a safe and high quality Shinkansen. I chose the Chinese high-speed rail, which ignored safety and environmental measures.
    As a result, deceived by China(;'∀')!!!

    Don't make me laugh? Malaysia commuter volume isn't enough to sustain the running costs of this redundant transport system. Look at the MRT and LRT system, which is located in the most populous region of Malaysia, how many times did the management has to change hands, and continually require government subsidy and bailout in order to keep running. I have seen better days where the LRT runs with 6-8 coaches per trip, now they only have 4 at most. And talking about spillover effects, LOL. I have yet to see any Mall or appartmet complex that builds next to a rail station being able to flourish. Please, Malaysians are so used to driving in their cars and stopping right in front(lazy to walk) of the shop they intend to patronise, that their legs arebecoming less and less capable of walking far distances. Talk about rail stations, you need to do a lot of walking after alighting from the train.

This project is being mainly financed by China Exim Bank. Country need to reduce the national debt and liabilities - which 80 per cent of its GDP. This project is not going to serve any purpose, it is not going to give any returns.

      Singapore is the most indebted country in South East Asia with debts of about 110% plus of its GDP. But it is also a well developed economy. Malaysia has much lesser debt than Singapore and has already paid off most of its Chinese debt over the last 3 years. Its exposure to China debt is less than 7% now. Also Malaysia has better contractual terms in its contracts with China that enables it to cancel projects when deemed necessary, without having to be obligated contractually. Therefore China or any other country have not been able to exert their authority in their dealings with Malaysia as they did in Sri Lanka, South Asia and Africa. Also no country can take legal action to exert territorial rights in Malaysia and China is fully aware of it even in the sea. Which is why they waived half the loans to Malaysia when there was a dispute, to maintain good relationship with Malaysia, one of their biggest trading partners in the world.

      China's debt-trap diplomacy encourages dependency using opaque contracts, predatory loan practices, and corrupt deals that mire nations in debt and undercut their sovereignty, denying them their long-term, self-sustaining growth. Remember what happened with Srilanka, Pakistan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Mongolia, Montenegro (to build a national highway), as part of the BRI. These countries (corrupt government) borrowed a lot of money and could not pay to China. China will take over your country very soon and your future generation will bear the burden. Indonesian people are now start realizing and fight against Chinese investments. So, if you love your country, wake up before you blaming yourself and being Chinese puppet.

      @Alexandria School of Science This is not just about Malaysia. China Is Expanding Global Influence via Debt Trap Diplomacy. BRI is one of the tools to achieve this objective. China’s expansionism drive, from the East and South China seas to the Himalayas and Central Asia, is making Asia more volatile and unstable. Along with the spread of the Wuhan-originating coronavirus, this has also given rise to growing anti-China sentiment. China expanded beyond the Great Wall and started to annex more territories in process.
