Berjaya eyeing S'pore listing for landfill unit

Kuala Lumpur

BERJAYA Corp is considering selling shares in a unit in Singapore and seeking joint ventures in casinos in North Asia as the Malaysian conglomerate expands outside its home market. Listing its environment services division will spur growth in the business, without depending on funds from the parent, founder Vincent Tan said in an interview in Singapore on Wednesday.

Berjaya's interests range from shopping malls to lotteries, and it's looking for a partner for a South Korea gaming project and wants to join a consortium in Japan should casinos be legalised.
