Find out the real story behind the controversial casino rumors in Forest City. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim sets the record straight!

Forest City in Malaysia has been at the center of controversy as rumors swirled about the possibility of a casino being added to the mega-development. Shares of Genting Malaysia Bhd and Berjaya Corp Bhd saw mixed trading following the Prime Minister's denial of the casino license reports. The luxury housing project, announced in 2006, has faced scrutiny over the years due to its ambitious plans and significant investments.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim clarified that there are no plans to open a casino in Forest City, Johor, refuting international media claims. The news report alleging discussions with local billionaires for a casino license was deemed false by the PM. Despite the speculations, Forest City's future remains a topic of interest in Malaysia and beyond.

The proposed casino for Forest City stirred up headlines, with PM Anwar hoping to persuade patriotic tycoons for support. However, the government's stance on issuing a casino license for the development stands firm. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim reiterated that the reports of a potential casino in Forest City are unfounded and assured the public of no such plans.

In conclusion, the controversy surrounding a casino in Forest City has been put to rest by PM Anwar's clear denials. The mega-development continues to captivate attention with its ambitious goals and ongoing investments. As speculation fades, the focus remains on the future of Forest City and its role in Malaysia's landscape.
