KUALA LUMPUR (June 17): Genting Malaysia Bhd's (GENM) hilltop casino will resume operations this Friday (June 19) after being shut for three months since March 18 due to the Movement Control Order (MCO).
According to a statement today, the Resorts World Genting (RWG) will reopen at 10am on Friday with enhanced safety measures in place to ensure the health and safety of all its guests and employees.

The RWG StaySafe Promise, which outlines RWG’s enhanced safety plan for the resort, includes protocols that cover social distancing measures, enhanced cleaning and disinfection processes, as well as the deployment of service ambassadors among others.
