Most recently, Jong served as CFO of the Brisbane Racing Club in Sydney.
“Basil’s casino resort experience, in various capacities, including as CFO, was with a casino and hotel group that owns the Alice Springs Hotel Casino and Convention Centre (205 rooms, 330 EGMs and 26 live gaming tables), and previously [owned] the Wharf Casino in Queenstown,” stated the Silver Heritage filing.
In the same document, the company also confirmed the departure of existing CFO, Martin Wright, who had been in the firm for eleven years, to pursue other interests.
Wright will stay with Silver Heritage until the end of December “to assist with both the handover of responsibilities to Mr Jong and the completion and opening of Tiger Palace Resort”.
Silver Heritage operates gaming properties in Vietnam and Nepal. The firm is currently building a self-managed resort in Nepal, dubbed Tiger Palace Resort Bhairahawa.
