All fun, no fear for Sim Leisure Group
Some of IPO proceeds will be used for its first theme park in China, with some funds reserved for Penang parks
Singapore
HIS theme parks have no rollercoasters, but Sim Leisure Group (SLG) founder and chief executive officer Sim Choo Kheng hopes his stock will soar when it lists on the Singapore Exchange's Catalist board this year.
Rather than hair-raising rides and expensive attractions emblazoned with well-known brands, SLG's Escape theme parks in Penang offer activities based on traditional ways of learning and playing. Visitors are not passively strapped into their seats for a short thrill; instead, they climb structures, jump from heights, slide down hills and explore dark tunnels.
