As a Thai. I'll give you the real reason for the delay. It's partly due to China at first. Yes, but that was quickly solved when the Thai govt opted to finance the project themself, because the negotiations was going nowhere. The real problem is the illegal squatters along the rail line. As the govt can't just relocate them without pursuing every legal channels first. That's the real issue here, even now they still going through every squatters one by one to slowly get them out. It's an annoyingly long and drawn out legal battleground. There's also another less known line that was supposed to be built simultaneously with this one. The EEC line, but it was auctioned to a private company and it faces the exact same problem and that private company has been holding that project hostage for more government money untill the squatter issue is completely resolved. Serve the government right for being a paleontological snail, but we pay the price with taxes. The same problem will occurred again with the future planned lines. Nothing will ever be finished on-time in Thailand, until the govt is smart enough to rewrite the law on squatters.
Get your facts right. The state government and the federal government has announced the project is to go ahead. Approvals have been done and there is a new developer.

I think I easily find 10 projects in China that will make the list lol. That biggest mega hydro dam project, a new airport in Foshan , that longest spanning bridge that was thought impossible to build, 45,000 tracks of high speed rail and I dunno how many stations. 54 cities with over 500 stations , etc etc etc. On top of that they have 70,000 5G base stations and 200M CCTVs , god knows how many tunnels , bridges , km of highway. In totality , nobody evens comes 10% close.
@ I’m talking about largest from start to completion, not an expansion after the initial project is completed. If you wanna talk abt expansion of existing projects , many subways in China have expanded by 3-4X from initial completion and still expanding every year adding more lines and stations. Like the SH metro with 830km and 508 stations with 20 lines. How can any airport beat that.
lol, your infographic at @10:48 bypasses the Singapore Straits. Which is The Major shipping lane from the Malacca Straits. You’re basically showing a route around Singapore, sailing south of the Indonesian islands of Batam and Bintan.
It will have some effect, malaysia and china have a similar project, myanmar and china port, pakistan and china port. all to prevent china form being chokehold if taiwan decides to do the unthinkable.

Most port workers will retire. Those still working will be trained to manned automation.

Singapore will gain a huge area of very high value commercial and real estate properties by moving the old port to its new location.
Changi Airport, Tuas Port and HSR.
I think you forgot the California high speed rail costing 128 billion dollars
Atleast the port will help ships
Wow. 100% operational by 2040? Why do i feel like something will happen that will disrupt this? 😮😮😮
Penang Andaman island and silicon island are more promising than malacca gateway😅
Mahathir opposed the project because he is getting any kick back himself
6:45 knowing Malaysia, these projects won't finish.
When was this made??
OMG, just make it straight then it costs less and saves even more!
