KUALA LUMPUR: The Kuala Lumpur terminal of the Singapore Malaysia high speed rail, which will feature what has been billed as the world’s largest underground city, will serve as “a glittering gem” on the ambitious China Pan Asia rail network, a China Rail Group official said.
In an interview with Channel NewsAsia documentary The Maritime Silk Road, the consortium developing the Bandar Malaysia site revealed more details and artists’ impressions of plans for the new transport hub.
They include a shopping mall, canals inspired by the likes of the Marina Bay Sands, indoor theme parks, cultural villages, indoor gardens, a financial centre, and the US$2-billion regional headquarters of the China Railway Group. The episode airs Tuesday (Oct 25) at 8pm,

Mr Cai Zemin, general manager for China Railway’s Malaysia office, said: “Bandar Malaysia will be a glittering gem on China’s rail corridor. China’s rail corridor will link Southeast Asia with East Asia, West Asia and South Asia.”
State-owned China Railway and Iskandar Waterfront Holdings (IWH) make up the consortium that bought over 60 per cent of the Bandar Malaysia land parcel formerly owned by troubled state investor 1Malaysia Development Berhad.
