Sands China Pays Respects Following Passing of Founder, Chairman and CEO Sheldon Adelson
Sands China Ltd has paid its respects to its founder, Chairman and CEO Sheldon Adelson with a minute’s silence observed by staff and condolence messages posted on electronic signage outside its Macau resorts.
The 87-year-old Adelson passed away on Monday (Las Vegas time) from complications related to treatment for non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, just days after announcing a leave of absence from his roles with Las Vegas Sands and Sands China to resume cancer treatment.
Sands China issued a notice to its staff early Wednesday (Macau time) in which it stated, “To express our deep sorrow for the passing of our company’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Sheldon G Adelson, the company has decided to hold a mourning event today. Please put down your work, stand up and join us in observing one minute of silence at 12:00 noon. During this period of time the company will suspend all public recreational activities.”
Signs outside the company’s integrated resorts, including The Venetian Macao and The Parisian Macao, expressed mourning for Adelson’s loss, adding, “We will remember you always.”
There was also recognition of Adelson’s contribution to the development of Macau by the SAR Government, which issued the following statement on Wednesday:
“The Government of the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) has been informed by Sands China Ltd of the passing of Mr Sheldon Gary Adelson, founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the company, who died of illness today.
“The leadership of the late Mr Adelson has promoted the development of Sands China in Macao. The Macao SAR Government expresses its deepest sorrow on the passing of Mr Adelson, and extends its most sincere condolences to his family.”

Parimatch has hosted an exclusive meet-and-greet with cricket legend Sunil Narine. Held on March 19, the event titled “Stay at the Top of Your Game” was led by renowned sports anchor MC Russh, giving fans and media a unique opportunity to engage with one of the most exciting bowlers in world cricket.
Hosted at the stunning rooftop venue of Scrapyard Brewing Co. with panoramic views of Kolkata, the session perfectly reflected Narine’s philosophy of always staying at the top of his game.
The event kicked off with a Q&A session where Sunil Narine shared insights into his journey with the Kolkata team, reflecting on his most memorable performances and the passionate support of Riders’s team fans. He spoke about his role in the team and the influence of various captains on his career. Narine also emphasised the importance of brand collaborations in a cricketer’s career and encouraged young players to stay true to their skills.
After the Q&A session there was a Time Wheel split into categories each offering even more exciting questions. The host was spinning the Wheel and Narine answered the questions, keeping the atmosphere vibrant and the audience engaged.
The highlight of the evening was the surprise appearance of Sunil Narine’s double, who asked him a fun and intriguing question: “If you could be at two places at once, where would the real you go—and where would you send me?” This playful moment added a lighthearted touch to the event.
Fans also had the chance to ask Sunil about his journey with Kolkata team, from a dressing room story they hadn’t heard before to whether he enjoys more batting or bowling, and what career he might have chosen if not for cricket.
The event concluded with a memorable photo session with Narine, providing fans with the perfect opportunity to capture the moment with the cricketing icon. In addition to the exciting activities, attendees were given exclusive Parimatch merchandise, making the event even more special.
Reflecting on the session, Sunil Narine commented:
“It’s always a big pleasure to connect with the fans, and I’m really thankful to Parimatch for giving me another chance to get closer to them and share my story. Cricket has given me so much, and I’m excited to give my energy back. I’m pumped for the Indian T20 League and can’t wait to give my best for everyone who’s been supporting me.”
