Future looks good for Genting Hong Kong: group chairman

"It's a controlled company so that stake, while it's fairly large, doesn't accord any benefit to a potential buyer unless they figure out it is good enough value. Other than that, to expect a buyer to pay a premium may be difficult because there is no other advantage or benefit. That unfortunately is the situation.
