KUALA LUMPUR -- When Prime Minister Najib Razak failed to appear on Wednesday evening for a site inspection of Bandar Malaysia, which includes the terminal site for a high-speed rail link to Singapore, the event was abruptly cancelled.
TRX City, a finance ministry company, said in a statement that a share sale agreement for the terminal with a railway consortium from China had lapsed after payments were not received despite "repeated extensions" being granted.
