ALTHOUGH Genting Malaysia Bhd (GenM) will find it tough to dispose of its 17.8 per cent stake in Genting Hong Kong (GHK), things could turn out for the best as the latter's cruise business is expected to deliver in the longer term, according to group chairman and chief executive Lim Kok Thay.
"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.
