Throughout this week, news of a casino opening at Forest City in Johor was being spread around, and the source points to an article by Bloomberg.

The article says that our Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has met with several tycoons to briefly discuss the idea of developing a casino to revive Forest City; the PM has since said that this is untrue.

Backing up his statement, the Menteri Besar of Johor, Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi says that the opening of a casino there is merely a rumour and one that is meant to “sabotage and to maliciously tarnish the image of Forest City and the state of Johor as a whole.”
