Elemen@Genting Highlands is designed based on the five traditional elements, its ambassador, renowned Grandmaster Yap Cheng Hai, who has over 60 years of experience in Feng Shui. Genting Malaysia, alongside Genting Singapore, also has interests in the United Kingdom, through its subsidiary Genting UK, and is the largest casino operator in the country, with 35 casinos located from Edinburgh to Plymouth. Genting UK operates two brands in the area, Genting Casino and Genting Club. She said those who often go to the casino in Genting Highlands should enter Genting by the garage rather than by the front door, as the lucky chi at the entrance has been absorbed by the operator. 'Wear red this lunar year as the colour will provide a feng shui cure,' she added. Find out more about events from Lillian Too.
