The Islamic political party making huge federal and territorial gains in Malaysia has vowed to voters it will end gambling in Pahang, home of the integrated resort casino (IRC) Resorts World Genting, if it wins the state in general elections. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Gentings\u2019 shares nosedived in 2022 when Mal Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS) became the biggest party in federal parliament after crushing the GE15 national elections. With four of Malaysia\u2019s 13 states already under its control, PAS now wants to take Pahang in GE15 and is upping the voter ante.<\/p>\n

According to the South China Morning Times<\/em>, the party is \u201ctapping into concerns by the country\u2019s Muslim majority over gambling.\u201d<\/a> The Koran forbids gambling.<\/p>\n

\n

Gambling is harmful, so we have to close it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The SCMT<\/em> cited a deputy at a PAS annual gathering as telling voters in Pahang that, if they want an end to gambling in their state, they should vote for the rising political power. \u201cGambling is harmful, so we have to close it,\u201d stated PAS\u2019 Andansura Rabu.<\/p>\n

Rabu, however, said the eradication of gambling wasn\u2019t about religion, but rather a \u201csocial issue.\u201d Genting\u2019s Resorts World casino is believed to have contributed approximately 5 billion ringgit ($1.16bn) annually to government coffers pre-COVID-19.<\/p>\n

While Genting shares have recovered since the 2022 slump<\/a>, the rising tide of support for the party ahead of the GE15 elections, which must be held before 2028, poses a real threat to Kuala Lumpur-based Genting\u2019s Resorts World interests in Pehang.<\/p>\n
