'Insolvency has no direct impact' that is true but what about indirect impact? Why rating agencies got no mention of LKT pledged 550 million of his Genting Bhd shares - or 32% of his holdings as collateral for loans to keep GHK afloat?

This deal caused a slump in Genting Malaysia shares. The Malaysia firm now owns a 49% stake in Empire Resorts.

GENTING HK SOLD ALL ITS VALUABLE ASSETS TO GENTING GROUP OF CO'S...PLANE, ZOUK ETC...MEANS LKT READY TO LET IT GO...OR THE CREDITORS ACCEPT 10C TO THE DOLLAR LIKE THAT ALSO DUNNO KA
The risk is there, if LKT decides to save his own molasses It is not the first time, and is probably not the last IMO, the most recent example being jet purchase via RWLV
