    EVER since Marina Bay Sands (MBS) opened for business in April 2010, its senior executives have consistently made known their desire to invest more in Singapore and to expand the footprint of the integrated resort (IR).

    In 2016, MBS first began discussions with the government on its proposed expansion plans. At the time, there was still a year to go before the 10-year exclusivity period (dated from when the contracts to develop the IRs were awarded) for Singapore's two casino operators was to expire.
