KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysia plans to review proposals to legalise sports betting ahead of the World Cup finals in South Africa, a report said Wednesday.
"There are proposals, but we will see first," Prime Minister Najib Razak was quoted as saying by the New Straits Times.
The newspaper said sports betting may legalised in time for the World Cup which is played from June 11 to July 11.
It said the Berjaya Group, a major Malaysian conglomerate with holdings ranging from lottery to casino operations, was seeking approval from the government to operate sports betting activities in the country.
Illegal betting on football is rife in Malaysia and the World Cup is expected to see a surge with millions of dollars changing hands.
The Berjaya Group made a similar proposal a few years ago, but then prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi shot down the request. Gambling is forbidden in Islam and Malaysia has a large Muslim population.
