Kulai MP Teo Nie Ching has urged the government to replace the cancelled Singapore-Kuala Lumpur High-Speed Rail (HSR) project with smaller transport development projects in greater Johor Baru.

"Our cabinet has decided to scrap the HSR. I believe this is a painful but right decision in view of the financial status of our nation.

"However, I urge the government to consider replacing HSR with some smaller but more economical projects that would improve the public transport in greater Johor Baru," Teo said in a statement today...
