Genting Group and Reflection of Home Country Culture

Their website has a very good story about how they have always been deeply involved in the malaysian culture with their business. Here is the link to the website.

The website talks about genting Group growing throughout its existence from strength to strength. I think this means that when they do something, they want to make it another one of their specialities. Their first hotel was finished and opened in 1971. Even today, They make their number one priorty as ensuring the natural beauty of the rain forest surrounding are preserved. Now at the original location, they have expanded to have five hotels and two apartment blocks. They are also sporting a golf resort. When you combine all of this you get what is called Genting Highlands Resort. It is known as the "City of Entertainment" in Malaysia.
Genting Group has also added the fastest cable car system in the world in 1997. They have also entered the oil and gas exploration industry.
Here is a good quote from the founder that passed away in 2007.
"Once the goals have been clearly defined, with the greatest amount of determination and hard work, one can conclusively realise one's goals."
- Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong, Founder
I think that Genting Group is a great example at reflecting home country culture. they are greatly supported from the Malays. and they have expanded worldwide into countries such as America and the United Kingdom. Genting group also does a great deal of work reguarding corporate social responsibility. The website is http://www.genting.com/community/index.htm
