[FONT="]Many people will be happy about this.
==============================
Two operators will be appointed to run three services. An international operator will run the KL-Singapore Express Service, a non-stop 90-minute service, as well as the cross-border Iskandar Puteri-Singapore shuttle service. [/FONT]
[FONT="]A second, domestic, operator will run the domestic service within Malaysia, with no involvement from Singapore.[/FONT]
[FONT="]There will be co-located customs, immigration and quarantine (CIQ) facilities at Singapore, KL and Iskandar Puteri. Both countries will build and fund infrastructure works within their respective territories.

2026 seriously.... damn long.
The only thing I notice is the shuttle between Singapore and Puteri Iskandar by a separate operator.Is this going to replace RTS over in JB?
The Chinese say they can do it in 3 years.
shuttle betwn Sg and Nusajaya is run by international operator who will also run the express Sg to KL route.
dun think will replace RTS since they cover diff part of Johore
RTS which is the Thompson line to JB , not BTS.
With the Shuttle service on the HSR line, i'm personally more confident that the RTS (JB/Woodlands) will materialize. Was quite surprised that they will do Shuttle on HSR as thought it would disrupt the express service. All in all good news but the real deal is the bilateral agreement, so wait for that one.
I thought they will do the HSR till Iskandar Puteri and then put in an extension to Jurong as a separate package. It is a bit of a surprise they decided to put the whole thing together. Anyway, 1 down, 2 more to go ie BTS and RTS. Still, take all these with a pinch of salt. A MOU is just more serious than a gentleman's agreement but short of a formal agreement. It is only a statement of intentions as the basis of agreement.
yes, wait for the actual agreement end of this year
KL-Singapore High-Speed Rail projected to start around 2026
By Justin Ong Posted 19 Jul 2016 15:00 Updated 19 Jul 2016 15:48
PUTRAJAYA, Malaysia: The High-Speed Rail (HSR) line linking Singapore and Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur (KL) is expected to start operations around 2026. This was announced at a joint press conference on Tuesday (July 19) after the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the neighbouring countries.
The signing ceremony, witnessed by Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his Malaysian counterpart Najib Razak, comes ahead of a legally binding bilateral agreement that will be inked by the end of this year.
Construction of the HSR is scheduled to take place from 2018 to 2025, followed by testing, commissioning and finally kickoff for the revenue service a year later.
The HSR line will run for 350km, with 335km in Malaysia and 15km in Singapore, and on two tracks going in opposite directions. It will comprise eight stops in total: Singapore, Iskandar Puteri, Batu Pahat, Muar, Ayer Keroh, Seremban, Putrajaya and KL.
Existing train services take up to 11 hours to journey between Singapore and KL. However, with the line able to reach top speeds of 300km/h, travel time between KL and Singapore is expected to drop to around 90 minutes - excluding clearance at customs, immigration and quarantine (CIQ). There are, however, plans to co-locate CIQ checkpoints at Singapore, KL and Iskandar Puteri to facilitate “seamless travel”.
This means, for instance, that at the Jurong East terminus, one would be able to clear Singaporean immigration and a few steps later, Malaysian immigration before boarding the train, reaching KL and stepping out into the city centre itself.
Travel time for the HSR between Singapore and Iskandar Puteri in Johor Bahru is expected to take around 10 to 15 minutes.
Both governments agreed that each will take responsibility for developing, constructing and maintaining civil infrastructure and stations within their own countries - MyHSR Corporation for Malaysia and the Land Transport Authority for Singapore.
“COMPETITIVE” FARES
It was also announced that two train operating companies will be appointed to run the HSR service. An international operator will handle the express service between the Singapore terminus at Jurong East and the KL end at the upcoming Bandar Malaysia development. The same operator will also oversee a cross-border shuttle service between Singapore and Iskandar Puteri.
Another operator will run the domestic service within Malaysia. The express service will have scheduling and operational priority over a domestic line servicing the six stops in Malaysia between Singapore and KL.
The HSR trains are expected to be 10 cars long, with the capacity for up to 100 passengers per car.
Fare will be set commercially by the operators and “competitive with airfares”, said Singapore authorities.
A separate private entity will design, build, finance and maintain the trains as well as rail assets, like trackwork, communications, signalling and power. It will also allocate and control track access. Depots and maintenance facilities will be located in Malaysia.
The Singapore and Malaysian governments will build and fund infrastructure works such as viaducts, tunnels and stations within their territories. Both governments also agreed to form a bilateral committee comprising representatives from both sides to manage and regulate aspects of the project which might impact the cross-border services.

From this diagram, the CIQ appears to be located in Jurong East, and the other CIQ appears in Iskandar Puteri for the shuttle service. The express service CIQ will be in KL though.
Singapore-KL High Speed Rail: What you need to know

SINGAPORE - Singapore's Land Transport Authority (LTA) and Malaysia's Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) today signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between both governments on the Singapore-Malaysia High Speed Rail (HSR) project.
Malaysia's Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan and Minister Khaw Boon Wan, Singapore's Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Minister for Transport, signed the MOU, signalling the governments' firmest commitment yet to the project, according to the LTA.
The signing ceremony was witnessed by Malaysia's Prime Minister Najib Razak and Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
In his speech, Mr Lee called the 2026 target date "a very ambitious timetable", but one that will draw the peoples and economies of both countries closer.
Noting that once completed, Singaporeans can go to Kuala Lumpur (KL) for a show or for business and then catch a train back in time for dinner, Mr Lee said "it will not seem like going overseas at all".
Here's what you need to know about the iconic project:
1. The 350km-long HSR is targeted to be up and running by around 2026.
2. Travelling time between Singapore and KL is expected to be 90 minutes, with the HSR travelling at a top speed of more than 300kmh.
3. There will be eight HSR stations between Malaysia and Singapore, with the two terminal stations at Jurong East in Singapore and Bandar Malaysia in KL. Other stations include Iskandar Puteri, Batu Pahat, Muar, Ayer Keroh, Seremban and Putrajaya.
4. Passengers can clear customs, immigration and quarantine checks at their point of departure. The facilities will be located at three locations - Singapore, Iskandar Puteri and KL. For example, Singaporeans taking the HSR service to KL can clear the checks of both countries' authorities at one point, before they board the train, reducing the hassle involved.
5. A tender for the project is expected to be called within the next month.
