the governments of Singapore and Malaysia launched the international bidding process for the Kuala Lumpur Singapore high speed railway project on December 20, 2017. The first phase is the bidding of railway asset companies for vehicle design and line construction. The bidding enterprises will submit the plan before the end of June 2018, and determine the winning enterprise before the end of 2018. At present, many countries, including China, Japan, South Korea, France and Germany, are interested in bidding for the Singapore Malaysia high speed railway

the competition between Chinese and Japanese enterprises is the most intense in the Singapore Malaysia high speed railway. Japan defines this project as the top priority infrastructure export project. Its consortium mainly includes JR East Japan, Sumitomo, Hitachi and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The project is of great significance to China, and it is the most important concept of the Pan Asian Railway advocated by China. The railway can make Kunming, Yunnan Province, China, an entrance to Southeast Asia, extend to Malaysia and Singapore through Laos and Thailand, and realize the interconnection between the whole Southeast Asia and China

according to a person from China Railway Corporation (hereinafter referred to as China Railway), the Singapore Malaysia high-speed railway project is led by China Railway Corporation, which combines eight enterprises, including but not limited to China Railway (), China Railway Construction (), China Communications (), CRRC (), China Communications (), CIC and the Export Import Bank of China. The enterprises in the consortium cover the design, construction, vehicles, communication, operation and other links of the whole high-speed railway industry chain. Together with financing institutions, they are the strongest lineup for China's high-speed railway to go global

according to the China business daily, China Railway Group Corporation, in its bidding plan, focused on showing the advantages of China's high-speed rail to Singapore and Malaysia in three aspects: first, key technologies and innovation; Second, China's high-speed rail is highly compatible and an open system, which can be technologically compatible and interconnected with the world's major high-speed rail technologies, and can save a lot of money for the operation and maintenance of Singapore and Malaysia in the future; Third, China has rich experience in the application of high-speed rail. China has rich experience and comparative advantages in the economic drive, operation and safety management along the high-speed rail, which is crucial for the future operation of high-speed rail in Singapore and Malaysia. In addition, only China in the world has experience in the construction and operation of tropical high-speed rail. Hainan high-speed railway is the only high-speed railway line built in tropical areas in the world so far. The climate of Hainan high-speed railway is very similar to that of Singapore Malaysia high-speed railway

according to CRRC sources, at least 70% of the locomotives and vehicles used in Malaysian rail transit are manufactured by CRRC, which has a manufacturing center in Malaysia. In addition, on August 9, 2017, the Malaysian East Coast Railway contracted by CCCC, an enterprise in the bidding consortium, started construction. The total investment of the project is about 55 billion ringgit (about 85.3 billion yuan), which is currently the largest overseas project under construction by Chinese enterprises. In addition, both China Railway and China Railway Construction in the consortium are important contractors for infrastructure projects in Malaysia. It can be said that CRRC, China Communications Construction Corporation, China Railway Construction Corporation and China Railway Group, the four major Chinese central enterprises, occupy a large advantage in the rail transit industry chain in Malaysia
