「如果馬來西亞取消該項目，新加坡將根據2016年簽署的雙邊協議的條款研究其影響並行使其權利，包括任何開支補償權。」
這位前馬來西亞人，現任新加坡人民行動黨議員，基礎建設統籌部長兼交通部長許文遠向當地官方媒體抱怨說，新加坡政府正對高速鐵路連接新加坡「招致費用」，並指責馬來西亞沒有回應他澄清的要求：
「新加坡已通過外交途徑要求馬來西亞政府闡明馬來西亞對該項目的立場。我們也通知馬來西亞，新加坡將繼續承擔有關費用。「
許文遠說：「馬來西亞在2013年向新加坡獻議興建高鐵時，新加坡因為相信這項計劃會為新加坡帶來好處而答應了。我們依然相信有一條高速鐵路銜接新加坡和吉隆坡，是符合雙方利益的，不論是在經濟，以及促進兩國人民的友誼和互相了解上。」
新當選的馬來西亞首相敦馬哈迪在確定該國債務超過1萬億令吉後，已經取消了吉隆坡 - 新加坡高鐵項目的計劃。
然而，高鐵的撤離嚴重危害了新加坡在西部裕廊區創建第二個中央商務區的最初計劃。考慮到裕廊高速公路的發展，新加坡早些時候拆除了丹戎巴葛碼頭港口並搬遷至大士。新加坡政府還支付了數百億從高爾夫俱樂部和幾個住宅項目中獲得超過12公頃土地的收入。
除了政府之外，投資數百萬美元投資於房地產和商業投資的投資者在聽到馬哈蒂爾的消息後也感到失望。據官方媒體報道，土地可能會被騰空，直到馬來西亞在他們的財務狀況改善時「重新訪問」他們對高鐵的決定。
