KUCHING: There is nothing wrong with setting up a casino at the Borneo Highlands Resort as Sarawak is not just for Muslims, says a state minister.

Sarawak Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said he had heard some dissenters from Miri objecting to the opening of a casino because gambling was haram in Islam.
