Genting Awana SkyWay, which was supposed to begin operation in August 2016, is finally commencing its service since end of December 2016 after a four-month delay in getting regulatory approval.
It was however met with online hoax propagating on social media claiming that there was accident at Genting Awana Skyway. Resort World Genting was fast to debunk the rumour with official statement:
HOAX ALERT: There is no truth in the post that is circulating about our Skyway accident caused by the faulty cable. We would like to assure everyone that our cable car is operating in great condition.
A police report has been filed over this online hoax, so don’t fall for it! #ComeOnUp and see for yourselves! Merry Christmas!
