MBS GOING AFTER 21 DEBTORS IN HIGH COURT Strait Times
Marina Bay Sands have filed 21 High Court claims against casino debtors this year. This is the highest reported for a single quarter since MBS opened in April 2010. The majority of these debtors are understood to be Malaysians who have failed to respond to reminders to make good on what they owe MBS as a result of bad runs at the gaming tables from 2010.
