Genting Malaysia Reports Huge Loss
Genting Malaysia, a division of betting conglomerate Genting Group, has reported a loss of MYR1.4bn ($499.9 million) for the first half of the year. The loss, as one would expect, results from the partial closure the company’s properties owing to Covid-19 outbreak.
The company posted a revenue of MYR2.1bn during the first six months of 2020, a decrease of 61.2% year on year.
All properties of Genting had remained closed from March 18 to June 19, following a government order. Even after restart, the facilities function at a reduced capacity.
The company’s operations in other countries too have suffered losses, with UK and Egypt divisions reporting a revenue fall of 51.8%. The US and Bahamas divisions too reported a revenue slide of 61.2%.
A press release from Genting said the company would “maintain a cautious stance” in the short-term for both Malaysia and other operating regions.
“The tourism, leisure and hospitality and gaming industries are among the sectors hardest hit by the pandemic,” the press release said. “As the Covid-19 situation continues to evolve, pandemic-related fears and uncertainty may result in the slow recovery of this sector.”
“Whilst the group is encouraged by the resumption of its business in Malaysia and the UK, uncertainties surrounding the full impact of the pandemic on the group’s operations and financial performance remain,” the release stated.
“The board wishes to caution that the group expects its financial results for the financial year ending 31 December to be adversely impacted.”

New Resort & Casino Selects IvedaAI for Intelligent Video Surveillance Ahead of Grand Opening

Iveda, a global leader in AI-driven video surveillance and smart-city technologies, announced that Subic Sun Development Inc. has chosen the IvedaAI platform as the video surveillance solution for the soon-to-open Subic Sun Resort, Convention & Casino. IvedaAI was selected early in the build-out to inform camera placement and ensure frictionless integration with future-ready, AI-powered analytics. Located on the former U.S. naval base in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone—a special economic hub that hosts thousands of international and local businesses—the resort will feature 500 guest rooms, a state-of-the-art convention center, a luxury casino and two Accor-brand hotels, Ibis Styles and Mercure, scheduled to open in December 2025.
The decision comes as global resort operators sharpen their focus on safety, service and operational efficiency. The global resort market generated $347 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach nearly $945 billion by 2030, an 18.5% CAGR. IvedaAI’s AI-enabled video analytics will help property staff lower security costs, respond to incidents faster and unlock data-driven insights that boost both guest satisfaction and bottom-line performance.
“Iveda being selected as a premier security and surveillance provider before the first Subic Sun Resort guest ever checks in is a powerful endorsement of our commitment to providing state-of- the-art monitoring technology. By designing camera layouts around IvedaAI’s real-time analytics, Subic Sun can optimize coverage, reduce blind spots, and deliver safer, smoother guest experiences—without a costly equipment overhaul. We expect more ground-up projects to follow this blueprint,” said David Ly, CEO and Founder of Iveda.
Iveda Philippines—Iveda’s joint venture focused on nationwide smart-city deployment—secured the Subic Sun contract and will oversee the on-site rollout. The win represents the team’s first major hospitality project and advances its plan to generate US $3 million in smart-city revenue by FY 2026, building on the broader initiative it announced last year.
