What does the decision to scrap the HSR project mean for Singapore?

SINGAPORE (June 8): The formerly lush greens and golf buggies at Jurong Country Club have given way to mud tracks and excavators as the club’s sprawling grounds were being prepped to be part of the iconic high-speed rail (HSR) project linking Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.

Plans for the HSR have since been scrapped, or at least put on hold, as the recently installed Malaysian government railed against how much it would have cost the country.
