MyHSR Corp is making great strides in the High-Speed Rail (HSR) project, and I'm excited to share some updates with you. The project has entered its detailed design phase, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2023.

The detailed design phase is a crucial step in ensuring that the project meets the required safety and technical standards. This phase involves the development of detailed plans and specifications for the construction of the HSR line.

MyHSR Corp has also been working closely with the Malaysian government to ensure that the project aligns with the country's economic and social development goals. The project is expected to generate significant economic benefits, including the creation of jobs and stimulation of economic growth.

The HSR project is expected to be completed by 2025, with commercial operations commencing shortly after.

The government is expected to make a decision by the end of this year, with three consortiums - Berjaya Rail Sdn Bhd, YTL Construction Sdn Bhd, and China Railway Construction - shortlisted for the project.

Mohd Nur Ismal Mohamed Kamal, CEO of MyHSR Corporation Sdn Bhd, highlighted the potential opportunities for collaboration between Malaysia and South Korea, given their long history of cooperation and South Korea's advanced rail technology.

South Korean conglomerates like Samsung and Hyundai have played crucial roles in Malaysia's development, and the country's railway industry is now exporting HSR systems and rolling stock, having previously imported them from France 20 years ago.

The South Korean railway industry is confident of launching the first hydrogen cell powered HSR capable of running at 370 km/hour by 2028.

South Korean advanced rail technology is one of the potential technologies Malaysia should look into, given its good track record and long history of cooperation with South Korea.

This cooperation could lead to opportunities for collaboration between Malaysian and Korean companies, or even between government and government.

The iconic Petronas Twin Towers, for example, was a groundbreaking project with one tower constructed by a South Korean consortium and the other by a Japanese consortium.

The South Korean railway industry has made significant advancements, especially in HSR technology, and is now even confident of launching the first hydrogen cell powered HSR capable of running at 370 km/hour by 2028.
