Genting comes under a different fire this time with the Ivey versus Genting case currently ongoing. It will take Genting a lot of resilience to weather through this storm. As +SavySeph puts it on her webpage, it is also going to cost them a lot to gain back public confidence should they fail to win this case. Leave that to our regular punters’ gossip and this case will be blown out of proportion. I believe Malaysian confidence is already out of the window irregardless of the outcome of this case. As faceless would say, “follow me take a bus uphill and you will hear all kinds of gossips”. A name or brand that took decades to build now sweeps the floor the floor with humiliation.
I managed to catch +XingCai Zhang’s blog before releasing this blog. This give me the opportunity to draw some points from her latest blog. She used simple math to put forth a strong argument. Having a net win of 55 times over two days period is not uncommon for a person on a lucky streak. Genting had seen several cases where punters made in excess of RM10,000 while being drawn down to less than RM100 balance out of sheer luck. Such big killing when they do happen usually find its way to the gossip session in the bus ride uphill. Did the crew in London over reacted because the figures had come to millions?
I had to agree with XingCai, that our Kuala Lumpur (KL) experts found nothing to conclusively nail Ivey. It won’t take long for experts to detect scams. These guys will be fair by staying to the facts and not simply jump into the wrong conclusions. The damage however was already done. I see the lack of finesse in handling this matter. The London side could have stalled for time and await experts here in KL to fly over to do a thorough investigation. Instead they told Ivey to his face that he cheated. A person of Ivy’s reputation would certainly boil and thus resulted in this lawsuit. It’s a pity for Genting to had fought so many decades to have their name sweep the floor just because of over reaction and lack of diplomacy.
