The Wall Steet Journal (
WSJ) yesterday said that Jeju Shinhwa World, one of the largest resorts on Jeju Island, reported to police earlier this month that over 14 billion won, equivalent to US$13 million or RM52 million, had gone missing from the Landing Casino, where gamblers typically play baccarat and other high-stakes card games.
The report said Hong Kong-based casino operator Landing International Development Ltd had asked police to look for the female employee from Malaysia who had been in charge of the cash but hadn’t returned to work after leaving for a vacation at the end of December.
In a filing with the Hong Kong stock exchange, executive director Wong Hoi Po said Landing hadn’t been able to reach the woman.
