Some of the biggest lossers in this Brexit incident are Tata Motors and companies that linked to Li Ka-shing (Todayonline, July14 2016). One of the top 10 Asia-Pacific companies, Genting faces high risk to the slowing down economy of Britain. A 10 percent slide in pound-ringgit rate will cause earnings per share of Genting to drop by 1 percent. Other than that, Genting Bhd had a 79 percent slump in year-on-year profit on 2016. The range of the changes in profit is from $152 million to .

9 million. The reason of this bad performance is due to foreign exchange losses besides the goods and services tax which just introduced recently.
