Malaysia’s only casino complex, Resorts World Genting (RWG), says it “remains open as usual” despite the extension of Covid-19 countermeasures in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Putrajaya.The casino property is located in an upland area near the country’s capital Kuala Lumpur.
On Monday, Malaysia’s government said it was extending a so-called Conditional Movement Control Order in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Putrajaya, amid an uptick in reported Covid-19 infections. The order runs until November 9.
