New Travel Restrictions in Malaysia Put a Quick Halt to Recovery of Resorts World Genting

RWG, or Resorts World Genting, will have to tighten its collar once again as the latest Covid 19 related prohibitions in Malaysia will enforce the operation to run at lowered capacity and time.

The casino resort is trying to ebb their operations because of an assumed degradation in visitors from January 13 to 26. This was the period when the new interstate travel halted. The resort has written on their site that they were anticipating a reduction in the number of RWG visitors with that announcement. The casino also said that they would be running at a reduced capacity, and several of their proposals might no be available from mid-Jan of 2021.

The site also said that some of their facilities, hotels, and other offerings would be entitled to revised running hours, curtailed availability, or part-time closure. The casino requested their visitors to visit their website often to get further information.

Latest Prohibition

The latest travel prohibition was proclaimed in January 2021, after a surge of new coronavirus infections rising over about 3,000 quotidianly. The Order of Movement Control calls for a halt on travel and other suspicious interactions among six states: Selangor, Penang, Federal Territories, Johor, Sabah, and Melaka.

Ahead of the ban on January 13, the condition continued to worsen with newer evolved virus infection hitting almost 3,309 on January 12. The Malaysian Prime Minister said that the condition was highly alarming, and their healthcare system was undergoing tremendous pressure then. He added that he said before that a new situation calls for new measures.

Then only a week later, analysts from Nomura expressed their optimism for Malaysia’s recovery. Analysts were much optimistic, observing the healthy vacation period. However, analysts constructed the optimism upon demand and cost-free travel in that country. This new prohibition has rained on optimism.
