Travellers big boss risk being arrested for skipping Resorts World Manila probe

The Philippine House of Representative has summoned Travellers International Hotel Group, Inc. (Travellers) to attend the on-going probe into the June 2 attack on Resorts World Manila.

The Philippine Daily Inquirer reported that Ilocos Norte Rep. Rodolfo Farinas has ordered the issuance of a subpoena against former Genting HongKong president and Travellers owner David Ming Huat Chua after failing to attend the probe for the second time.

Chua was not able to attend the House inquiry because he had already left for HongKong last June 11, according to Resorts World Manila President Kingson Sian. Chua, according to Sian, lives in China’s special administrative region and is not a Filipino citizen.

Farinas, however, didn’t buy Sian’s excuse, warning Chua that the government will be compelled to issue a warrant of arrest against Chua if the Travellers executive fails to appear in the next House probe.
