00:00 Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has suggested that all parties mentioned in a
00:05 recent report by Bloomberg, alleging that the government is planning to issue a license
00:09 for a casino in Forest City, Johor, to take necessary action against the news agency.
00:14 "Is it yes or no that the street will take necessary action?
00:18 It's already mentioned.
00:19 It must be taken necessary action."
00:20 Anwar had been asked if the government would request a retraction from Bloomberg or proceed
00:24 with legal action against the New York-based news agency.
00:27 The day before, he strongly denied the report, which stated that Puja Jaya is mulling a second
00:32 casino license for Forest City, describing it as a lie.
00:38 Bloomberg had reported earlier on Thursday that Berjaya founder Tan Sri Vincent Tan and
00:42 gunting group's Tan Sri Lim Kok Tai were in early discussions with the government on
00:46 opening a casino in Forest City.
00:48 The report, quoting sources, said the casino would revive the over RM478 billion Forest
00:54 City project.
00:55 In a statement on Friday, Berjaya Kop also denied that Tan was in talks regarding the
00:59 casino license.
01:00 Berjaya Kop, a former New York City mayor, denied the company's decision to open a casino.
