BOTH the Marina Bay Sands and Resorts world at Sentosa have applied to open their integrated resorts in stages and their requests are being reviewed, said Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry S. Iswaran on Monday.

Each of the multibillion-dollar projects must still open as an 'integrated resort' rather than a 'standalone casino,' he said in Palriament, when replying to queries from Nominated MP Eunice Olsen and Non-Constituency MP Sylvia Lim on whether there will be any delays in the opening of the two integrated resorts and if there were changes made to the terms and conditions since.

He said that both the Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World at Sentosa have applied to open in stages and their proposals are being reviewed now.
