SINGAPORE - Singapore's authorities issued a casino licence to neighbouring Malaysia's Genting group, allowing the company to add gaming to its ambitious development plans in the city-state.
Resorts World Sentosa, built by Genting on a former British military outpost at a cost of US$4.4bil (RM15.4bil), opened four premium hotels last month in expectation of the licence.
Singapore's casino regulator said the licence was issued yesterday.

"The Casino Regulatory Authority of Singapore has issued a casino licence to Resorts World... on Feb 6, 2010," the regulator said on its website.
In addition to the casino, hotels and convention facilities, Genting will open a Universal Studios theme park by March at the complex on Sentosa island, which is already packed with leisure attractions.
A marine life park, maritime museum, spa and two more hotels are scheduled to launch after 2010. - AFP
