Singapore Briefed Macau Chief on Casino Resorts

Written on April 17, 2007 by admin

Singapore has briefed the head of the southern Chinese gambling enclave Macau about the city-state’s plans for two gaming resorts, the trade minister said Monday.

Lim hng Kiang was speaking to reporters after Macau chief executive Edmund Ho ended a two-day visit to Singapore over the weekend.

“He wanted to see our IR plans,” Lim said, referring to the two “integrated resorts”. “We gave him a briefing.”

Lim was speaking at the ground-breaking by Genting International of Singapore’s second casino and entertainment resort on Sentosa island.

“It was a very good meeting. We have regular discussions. He came by a few times in the past and many of the ministers have visited Macau so we are in constant touch,” Lim said.

Las Vegas Sands is building the city state’s other multi-billion-dollar casino and convention project on Marina Bay near the city-state’s commercial heart.

The facilities are to open in 2009 and 2010.
