Bentong police deny robbery took place in Genting Highland Casino in Pahang

As rumored, a robbery did not occur in Genting Highland Casino in Pahang, according to the police.

Bentong OCPD Supt. Zaiham Mohd Kahar stated that an investigation had been carried out by the police, and the results verified that there had not been a robbery as stated in messages that were shared on social media.

“The Bentong district police headquarters also confirms that no such report was lodged,” he said in a statement on Wednesday (Aug 31).

“I have investigated with the management of (Resorts World) Genting, and they have informed me that the problem was a technical one involving a shutter door of some kind.

“There was a video alleging there was a robbery involving a helicopter, which I would like to refute,” he stated.

Supt. Zaiham was commenting on a video that was going around the internet showing a man speaking in Hokkien.

In the video, the man queries why the casino is closed and speculates that a heist or a fire is to blame.

The individual asserts furthermore that the cable car service had been terminated, and that customers are unable to check into their rooms since the counters are closed.

According to the statements made by Supt. Zaiham, “We appeal for the cooperation of everyone not to make any conjecture or propagate false information that may cause discomfort or disturb public order.”
