Tiong hits back at PAS over Sarawak casino opposition

[superadmin]

BINTULU – Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing has slammed Sarawak PAS commissioner Jofri Jaraiee for claiming that the opening of a casino in Sarawak would do more harm than good.

In a statement, Tiong said the PAS leader is often seen using religion when issuing statements, which could threaten the harmony of the multi-religious and multi-racial communities in the country just to gain popularity.

“Such action is dangerous and can cause dissension among the community,” he said, adding that it would also complicate the government’s efforts to bring greater economic development in Sarawak.
