The international law is very clear on the South China Sea:
– parts of it belong to some ASEAN countries,
– the rest of it is the international water,
– no part of it belongs to China🇨🇳 or Taiwan🇹🇼.
Congrats to this new railway project. Will be a big boon to everyone involved.
Wow! Shows that pap is the only not very useful party in Asia.
No more good quality durians transported to SG; likely leftover or unwanted ones.
Good for Asean and China! Great to see positive news in the world for a change. May you ALL prosper together. Congratulations!

its so good to hear that in japan they use train as mainly transport that can be hope ,in malaysia its a less
PH is eye boggling with deep regret and jealousy.
Singapore stands to benefit greatly from this railway route and should contribute towards construction of the line outside its borders.
Hopefully Singapore accept it and don't try to sabotage the project.
Belt and road success
Tell that to Dr. M. He is the one to cancel all China projects. Only brainless dummy points finger at SG.
This is great. It allows China to quickly transport their PLA troops for the invasion of ASEAN.
Big THANK YOU to China for making this happen.
Malaysia is center of ASEAN, bordering with 9 countries by land and water. ASEAN mainland 6 members. Malaysian can speak Melayu, English and Mandarin. BRICS+ framework := Thai + Msia = 104 mil population same status as = Viet 100 mil = Phino 110 million.
Ktmb, twice a week😮… really? Is there a point then?
When countries are peaceful & politically stable, many good economics initiatives can take off bringing prosperity for all😊.
Smart move MY n CN. Without extending the line down south they isolated SG and hence reduced competition. Furthermore, when this rail is fully developed cargo ships that shipping goods from EU and ME to CN can bypass SG all together by just docking at a Malaysian port unload their goods onto this rail system and sail off. It will also free up traffic in the SCS and lots of docking space in Chinese ports for ships from other places.
Setelah itu barang² murah china masuk dan china menguasai semua perdagangan di asian, produk lokal mati total kalah bersaing dngan harga 😂😂😂😂
I wonder if Anthony Loke speaks Mandarin. Does anyone know?
Hi Mellissa Goh , The cargo train left from Kontena Nasional Inland Clearence Depot in Seri Setia in Selangor, Not from Kelana Jaya
This train….does it need VEP to enter Malaysia come 1st Oct? Who apply for them? Train is also classified as “Vehicle “, right?
Malaysia can strive to become the central railway hub of Asean for China
It's a strategic move, land route, for Asia Major country. Secondary route to ocean route, and it's cheaper, less risky and moving to BRICS.
Waiting for ECRL…2 ports will be connected between Kuantan Port at east coast and Port Kelang at west coast of Malaysia peninsula
maybe the next destination of this train is singapore..hopefully
Durian express.
Malay and Thai need to change old rail lines to standard gauge rail line. So, train can go from Malay to China directly without stopping.
Malaysia should upgrade the old colonial era meter railway. It's narrow, low speed and light duty tracks. An upgrade to standard gauge is more is more appropriate. Imagine from this Railway, freight, cargo and passenger can travel.all.the way.to Europe , Russia, Africa. Uk and Middle East
Best for them to send over cheaper canned luncheon meat most are expensive because of the durians except from S. Korea.
It will be interesting to see how the SEA nations benefit from the railway service since the Chinese adapt and adopt the true basics and the basis for rapid unmatched unrivalled and unbeatable socio economic development but the SEA nations have never earnestly recognised the ideology and philosophy for any real civilization which is characterized by the pairing of one human being tainted by the Real Holy Spirit of God Almighty with another human being in procreation family friends society in teaching-learning technology which guarantees perfection made truly meaningful with the forgiveness of all actions and thoughts. Any pseudo civilization that rejects the Real Holy Spirit of God Almighty ideology and philosophy are surely Anti God simply because they are not made created or inspired by God Almighty which is done through the Real Holy Spirit of God Almighty which has been proven clearly by eliciting the correct desired answer from the targets who are the lslamic religions and philosophies proponents like pastors imams priests and samis so there is no question of trickery treachery or coercion. Are the latter ready for the positive change or are they still pinning on causing mayhem and confusion in China and Chinese diasporas by using the non Real Holy Spirit of God Almighty tainted lslamic religions and philosophies. That is the main question that should have been answered before even the ASEAN Express was planned.
Win-win
Good for ASEAN. Good to connect Cambodia, Vietnam and Myanmar as well for local integration.
