Casino licence in Forest City ‘a lie’
PUTRAJAYA, Apr 25 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today rejected a news report claiming his administration was in talks with local billionaires to open a casino in Forest City, Johor.
Anwar, who is also the finance minister, categorically denied that the government was weighing the idea of issuing a second casino licence in the country.
“Those who brought up the idea on casino licence are telling a lie, that’s not right,” Anwar said when met by reporters here at a joint Hari Raya open house by Housing and Local Government Ministry and Communications Ministry.
