Are There High-speed Trains in Malaysia?
Currently, Malaysia does not have operational high-speed trains. The conventional KTM ETS (Electric Train Service) reaches speeds of up to 140km/h, which is considered medium-speed by international standards. This service primarily connects Kuala Lumpur with northern cities like Ipoh and Penang.
The Kuala Lumpur–Singapore high-speed rail project has been revived after previous postponements and is now expected to be completed around 2031. When operational, this 350km/h service will reduce travel time between these major Southeast Asian cities from 4+ hours to just 90 minutes.
