THE Singapore Tourism Board on Thursday confirmed that it has received a proposal from Marina Bay Sands to defer the opening of certain portions of the Marina Bay integrated project.
STB chief Lim Neo Chian said: 'Marina Bay Sands had earlier committed to completing the integrated resort in a single phase by end 2009. However, it recently submitted a proposal for a progressive opening from end 2009 onwards. STB is considering the proposal.'
He declined to reveal more details as 'discussions are underway'.
