Anwar also denies report government is mulling over a second casino licence to revive the beleaguered US$100b development
[KUALA LUMPUR] Berjaya Corp denied that company founder Vincent Tan was in talks to build a casino in Johor’s Forest City, as reported recently.
The response came after Malaysia’s Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on Thursday (Apr 25) denied a recent news report that the government is mulling over a second casino licence to revive the beleaguered US$100 billion development in the southern state of the country.
Bloomberg reported on Thursday that Berjaya and Genting Group were in early discussions with the Malaysian government on opening a casino in Forest City, Johor.
