Genting Malaysia has recorded a net loss of almost RM418 million (about US$96 million) in the first quarter of 2020 compared with a net profit of more than RM268 million a year ago.

The group’s revenue also declined by 29 percent to RM1.96 billion from RM2.74 billion.

It also noted that the group would continue to implement aggressive cost-cutting measures in order to weather the crisis.
