BINTULU, May 2 — Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing has slammed Parti Islam Se-Malaysia Sarawak commissioner Jofri Jaraiee for claiming that the opening of a casino in Sarawak would do more harm than good.
Tiong was responding to Jofri’s recent statement that the proposed opening of casinos in Sarawak should be opposed as it would do more harm than good to the people. Tiong is confident that the existence of an amusement park and a golf course, including a casino at Borneo Highlands could promote tourism in Sarawak, create many job opportunities, drive the local economy and generate more income for Sarawak.
Tiong said the proposed projects are for the future development of the people in Sarawak, especially to fulfil the dream of the rural community in securing basic facilities. Tiong said if anyone is worried that the existence of a casino will cause social problems, then a proper supervision should be provided such as allowing foreigners to enter the casino at any time.
