Singapore looks for high-speed rail bids

Chinese enterprises are welcome to participate in the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail, Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said when he met with Premier Li Keqiang on Tuesday.

China has advanced high-speed rail technologies to build safe and cost-effective railways, said Li, adding that he hopes Singapore can support Chinese enterprises' participation in the rail project.

The 360-km high-speed railway was announced in September 2010 to connect Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with Singapore. Three years later, Lee agreed to build the railway by 2020 with his Malaysian counterpart Najib Razak.
