Genting Singapore: A Red Letter Day

Wow,the wait is just electric as the Genting Group awaits the new baby's birth on Sentosa Island in Singapore on 20th January. Everyone is expectant. The government is hoping for an onslaught of tourist arrivals, particularly from the neighbour across the Causeway.


The entrance fees for Universal Studios is about USD60 for an all-day affair. That adds up to some RM210 for Malaysians and since most of the resorts are so far away in Hong-Kong, Australia and Japan; Universal Studios is just rightly placed just south of the border. So, expect tourist arrivals to come from eager-beaver Malaysians in storm.

As for the January opening without the Universal Studios, it will perhaps add more in-bound passengers from the airports en route somewhere else who may just drop by the enjoy the super cuisine served at the four hotels which are opening.

Whatever, it may be, it is sure one red letter day and a feather to the cap for Lim Kok Thay!
