MOVE TO INTRODUCE
GREYHOUND RACING
TO MALAYA
Johore Babru, Apr. 12.
One of the most popular sports in Europe-- greyhound racing-will be introduced to Malaya for the first time shortly, if plans now in hand are approved by the Johore State Government. The plans provide for promotion costing about M$2,000,000 and have been submitted to the State Secretary by a syndicate of Chinese businessmen,
The State Secretary said last night that if greyhound racing was to be introduced only as a sport, it would meet with little opposition from the Government. But if the sport involved gambling similar to the turf club, it would have to seek the approval of the Federal Government.-United Press.
