THE Government is considering requests by both integrated resort (IR) operators for their openings to be made in stages, Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry S. Iswaran told the House yesterday.

Both operators will also be held to fulfilling their obligations as outlined when their bids for the projects in Sentosa and Marina Bay were submitted, he said.

He added that the Government does not expect any change in the contribution that both projects will have towards the economy and job scene here.
