Mr. Huie, Allen Tat Yan, Chairman and Executive Director of APE, stated: "We are very pleased with our financial performance in the first half of 2026. As Asia's gaming and entertainment sector shifts rapidly toward high-tech experiences and non-gaming initiatives, demand from integrated resorts for next-generation EGE continues to climb.
