The sources also said the Government would soon appoint an international consulting firm to study the various proposals for the high-speed rail link to Singapore.

The maglev is the train system that links Shanghai's Pudong airport with its financial district and was the first installation of its kind in the world.

The journey of 30 km takes about seven minutes. LINK
