RESORTS World at Sentosa on Tuesday refuted a report by an investment bank about a possible early opening.
A CIMB report on Tuesday said the ‘quick pace’ of construction may lead to it opening by the end of this year, instead of early next year as planned.
It also said that Genting, which owns Resorts World, may announce the actual opening date next month.
The claims were based on a recent site tour.
In response, the integrated resort issued a brief statement, saying: ‘Resorts World at Sentosa is on track for a soft opening in the first quarter of 2010.’
At the joint event with the People’s Association on Tuesday, the integrated resort’s chief executive officer Tan Hee Teck said that they would announce the opening date in the last quarter of this year.
About 760 people have been hired so far, over 80 per cent of whom are Singaporeans.
Mr Tan said they are ramping up hiring efforts to reach 8,000 staff by October, and 10,000 by December.
