KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysia and Singapore signed a final agreement Tuesday to build a high-speed railway connecting the two countries' capitals. The project, which will involve international tenders and construction of a third cross-border bridge, is expected to give their economies a lift.
"I look forward to taking my first trip to Kuala Lumpur in 10 years' time," Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said at a news conference with his Malaysian counterpart, Najib Razak.
