Malaysia abandons sports gambling

30 June 2010

MALAYSIA -- The Malaysian government, on consideration, refused to issue a sports betting licence to Ascott Sports according to a Bernama report.

There had been rumours of Malaysia embracing sports betting to combat illegal gambling on the World Cup.

However the decision came down against issuing a licence because the "majority" of opinion opposed it, Bernama reported.

A licence had been issued in 1989 was returned to the government after company losses and the subsequent efforts to renew it have so far failed, the report noted.
