China Railway Construction Corporation and China Southern Railway are reportedly preparing to bid for the construction of a 10-billion US dollar high-speed railway project which would link Singapore and Malaysia's capital, Kuala Lumpur.
The KL-Singapore High Speed Railway is expected to go to tender in June.
The rail link will shorten the current travel time between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore from 5 hours to just 90 minutes.
Japan Railways, French firm Alstom and Siemens are said to be among some of the other bidders.
For more on the bid, we are now joined live by Mike Bastin, Director of The China Business Centre based in London.
