The full clip in better resolution k be found here. I feel sometimes from speeches of these people, we k gather some insight from the drawing board, whether they say it intentionally or u intentionally
Are you talking about the Hello Kitty Ferry from this site http://www.playtime.com.my/transport-water it appears this is a private ferry sponsored by the Puteri Harbour Entertainment group and I do not believe this represents what the commuter ferry schedule would be. I think it is a slow fun time family ferry ride and in the future when someone actually lives in Puteri Harbour the faster ferry would have been approved and able to function at speeds making an acceptable commute. If the HF to Batam ferry is 45 minutes then I expect they can do the same from PH to Harbour Front and most likely 10 min to Raffles Marina and the green line. But today there is no commuters or need or funancial gains for a fast ferry. From projections in the past when it is financially viable with enough ridership the time would be 45 min from PH to HF which works to get to other locations in that hour, hour 15 acceptable commute time frame.
Was the seminar held in 2012 or recently? If the stop over is in Puteri Harbour(most likely at CIQ),.. the property prices at Encorp, Somerset, Teega, etc are going to explode there.. all walking distance from CIQ.
however, if I remember correctly, Najib said that the stopover is in Iskandar but stop short of saving exactly the location.
yup, makes sense to stop at Puteri Harbour as its the shortest distance from Singapore. Construction costs will be greatly reduced and we have the existing CIQ and state govt there as well.
My only concern would be, is the CIQ in Puteri Harbour large enough to handle potentially high volumes of train crossing? It seems to me that the CIQ is designed just to handle ferry traffic, correct me if I am wrong. Given the master plan of Puteri Harbour, I am not sure if they have allocated space for the CIQ expansion, train lines coming in and out, space for building the crossing, etc. If it really happens, somehow, I can see the whole place in a complete mess over the next 6-7 years.
Also, Puteri Harbour is planned to be a very 'high end' development. To be honest, I usually dont see anything 'public', particularly ones that will bring heavy traffic in and out, around exclusive, high end developments.
I saw the video as well a few days back. Somehow, I got the impression that he know KL very well, but not necessarily Iskandar. I would still tend to believe that the HSR station has to be in a greenfield zone, given the scale of infrastructure required. So, Gerbang Nusajaya would be my guess for the HSR station as they have already been talking about linking through Tuas.
I see the point of short distance across PH. I am not a structural engineer, but I am sure there are other factors to consider while building the link, such as as soil strenghth etc. I am sure there was a good reason to build the 2nd link where it is. Otherwise they could have easily got it across PH in the first place, which is not too far.
I agree with you that the station will likely be located at Gerbang Nusajaya. It is envisioned to be gateway city to economic opportunities and high quality of life. 3 major investments which include Ascenda-UEM Tech Park, Peter Lim Motorcity and China Mall. Its also closest to the CIQ as well as housing for immigration staff.
