RWG cuts capacity amid Malaysia partial lockdown
“With this announcement, we anticipate a decline in the number of visitors” stated RWG in a notice published on 12th.
Malaysian casino complex Resorts World Genting at Genting Highlands near the capital, said in a notice that it would reduce its capacity and temporarily suspend some attractions, following a fresh movement control order imposed by the local government to parts of the country.
The order, announced on 11th by prime minister, Muhyiddin Yassin, covers five states – Penang, Selangor, Melaka, Johor and Sabah – and the federal territories of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan. It runs from January 13 until 26.
Interstate travel is banned across the country, while journeys between districts are not allowed within those states placed under a movement control order.
“With this announcement, we anticipate a decline in the number of visitors to Resorts World Genting,” stated the property in the notice, published on its website.
“Hence, we will be operating at a lower capacity and some of our offerings may not be available from January 13,” it said.
Resorts World Genting added that “some” of its “hotels, facilities, attractions and other offerings will be subjected to revised operating hours, limited availability or temporary closure”.
“This may cause Resorts World Genting to forego the Chinese New Year peak season in February and raise doubts if Genting Skyworlds will open in the second half of 2021,” said Maybank analyst Samuel Yin Shao Yang.
