No casino in Stulang Laut, says Vincent Tan
Tan Sri Vincent Tan, the founder of Berjaya Corporation Bhd, has refuted speculations that a casino will be built within its property at the Berjaya Waterfront Hotel Johor Baru at Stulang Laut here.
He said he heard of such speculations which were circulated through the internet and other forms.
"It is true that there are pubs around here but to develop a casino is not one of the plans to improve the hotel as well as the adjoining Berjaya Waterfront Complex.
"The whole building is undergoing renovations which are needed to bring in new tenants for our retail outlets.
"The hotel and shopping mall is part of the 61-hectare land earmarked for development in Stulang Laut," he said after presenting cheques on behalf of Better Malaysia Foundation to 47 charitable organisations here today.
Vincent is the foundation president.
He said future projects in Stulang Laut includes commercial and high-rise residential development similar to that taking place at the Danga Bay.
He also said the company will try to reduce the number of drinking outlets and pubs in Stulang Laut, as the intention is to make the place more family-oriented.
