The formation of another committee tasked with regulating the complex was also proposed, with the prime minister suggested as the best figure to oversee it, the source said, adding the tentative budget was bigger than a similar project undertaken in Singapore.
The casinos are expected to take up about 5% of the total space. The entertainment complex will feature five-star hotels, shopping malls, beauty and spa parlours, amusement parks, zoos, indoor and outdoor sports stadiums and legal casinos, the source added, citing the study. If approved, the report will be forwarded to the government for consideration, the person said.
