  Quite frankly, I don't see the point. I still think that airplanes will prevail for traveling between any two of the countries listed.

  after this line is opened... the airline fares between
  Singapore-Malaysia
  Singapore-Thailand
  Singapore-China
  
  will be lowered due to competition with bullet train

  It will be less expensive compare to the air flight.

  And going to kl will be like taking a mrt from east to west.

  If the price is right, I will take the bullet train.

  But then, thinking of custom clearing is a bit inconvenience.

  it would be interesting to see a traffic police chasing after the train due to speeding

  whahahaha

  imagine 300km/h in sg, less than 1min from custom to tanjong pagar terminal liao.HAHAS

  I've took Shanghai Maglev Train before..
  It top speeds is 431km/ph.
  
  The total stretch of 30.5km takes only 8 minutes to complete.
  So for example if (IF ONLY,AN EXAMPLE), Singapore has it, from
  Joo Koon to Paya Lebar takes only 8 minutes.

  China has the record speed of 486 km/ph of an Unmodified train.
  A un modified train can go 486km/ph.
  
  The 219km takes only 34 minutes.
  
  wonder if our MRT if accerlate till the very end, will it reach 130km/h ?

  It's possible on a steep and straight track, but then when's there a curve.... DERAILMENT.

  Like this incident in Japan when the train went 1.5x the maximum speed the train could go -> Amagasaki rail crash

  China is a bigass country. What about cities like Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Beijing, and Shanghai? I don't think there's any point in building this unless you cover those three cities.

  I especially think it's a bad idea to pass through Laos.

  I don't even think this is a nice thing to dream about. There isn't a need for such a rail network, unless the trains can go as fast as planes. But we know that no one has even come close to that yet.
