The Berjaya-led consortium which participated in the Request For Information ("RFI") exercise by MyHSR for the Kuala Lumpur- Singapore High Speed Rail ("KL- SG HSR") Project today announced that one of its partners, Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad has decided to withdraw from the consortium to pursue other strategic opportunities and hence would no longer be part of the KL-SG HSR Consortium.

The consortium which includes Berjaya Rail Sdn Bhd, Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad, IJM Corporation Berhad, and Berjaya's technical partners Deutsche Bahn, Hitachi Rail and Hyundai Rotem will remain. Berjaya said the consortium and its technical partners are recognised leaders in infrastructure development, engineering, and transportation management, and collectively, they bring decades of proven expertise in delivering large-scale infrastructure projects.

"We remain steadfast in our mission to deliver a world-class HSR system that will transform regional connectivity and economic development for Malaysia and to help the nation' successful transition towards green mobility in the form of the high-speed rail" said Tan Sri Dato' Seri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun, Berjaya Corporation Berhad's Founder and Advisor.
