Talkabout - Gambling in Singapore (Part 1) : Introduction
Published on Aug 26, 2014
For decades Singapore firmly resisted casino gambling with Lee Kuan Yew famously saying casinos would only be allowed ‘over my dead body,’ But in 2005, despite vigorous public debate, the 40 year old ban on casino gambling was finally lifted. Financially it’s been a jackpot for Singapore. Last year the two casinos grossed a staggering US$6.077 billion and within less than four years tourism jumped by 50 percent to 14.4 million. But while the economics may be compelling the toll on society isn’t such a rosy picture. .
Even before the introduction of the casinos Singaporeans already had the reputation as world class gamblers having been ranked the second biggest in the world since 2002. And within just one year of the casinos opening 7 out of 10 gamblers were blaming their addiction on the integrated resorts. The problem is getting worse with some counsellors reporting a 50 per cent increase in people seeking help. This is also partly due to the rise of online gambling which is ubiquitous, accessible and very addictive. Surveys show that online gamblers fare the worst among all gamblers in exercising self –control. It’s risky business. No matter where you are you can bet on-line. It’s a gambling revolution that’s estimated in Singapore to be worth about $US300 million. There are plenty of salutary tales about the way on-line gambling can wreck lives. It’s so highly addictive it’s been called the ‘crack cocaine’ of gambling. Here in Singapore it remains an unregulated industry as the current laws were drafted before the internet age. The government does have plans to regulate but how do you control a business that you can’t touch, that can operate anywhere? And can regulators make gambling safer? Well to take a cold hard look at the facts and the true cost of gambling to Singapore we have a cross section of people on Talkabout to discuss the issue including lawyers, counsellors, academics and a reformed addict.

Talkabout - Gambling in Singapore (Part 2) : Do Singaporeans Love To Gamble?
Published on Aug 26, 2014
Singaporean have the dubious distinction of being the second biggest gamblers in the world. But is this really the case? The general perception is that Chinese must gamble. It’s in the genes. But more than half the gamblers who come to Singapore’s casino are non-Singaporeans. Lawyer, S Suressh questions Singapore’s label as one of the world’s top gambling nations. He says that statistics can be misleading. One of the reason he believes gambling figures are so high in Singapore is that the society is highly regulated. In other countries, statistics, he says, are guestimates and do not necessarily accurately reflect the levels of gambling. Having worked in many overseas countries he believes the profile of gambling is higher in countries like Australia. He said in 2012, the Australian government did a review and estimated that 1 billion is being lost to online gambling each year which is illegal.
But the counsellors on the panel felt that Chinese are drawn to gambling. Counsellor Dick Lum from the One Hope Centre, says that 60-70 per cent of his clients are Chinese and Pastor Billy Lee said more than 90 per cent of people seeking counselling for gambling addiction were Chinese. Most too were from the Heartlands of Singapore. Dr Winslow supports the racial profile. He says that there are different groups, which have a pre-disposition to different forms of gambling. And when it comes to gambling the data in Singapore is mainly Chinese.

Talkabout - Gambling in Singapore (Part 3) : How Bad Is The Addiction?
Published on Aug 26, 2014
In Part 3 of our debate, former air hostess Suzann Sing speaks candidly about how she became addicted to gambling and how it destroyed her life. She says it is very easy to become addicted to gambling and dismisses race profiling. All races, she believes, are susceptible. Once the addiction bites, she says, it can become impossible to control.
Suzann was a glamorous air hostess working for Singapore Airlines when she first stepped foot in a casino in London. Here she was given the red carpet treatment, replete with champagne. She had 25 pounds and by he end of the evening she was walking away with nearly 8000 pounds. Twenty plus years ago that was quite a lot of money. As she said, it took just one small bet before she was hooked. After that the bets became bigger – the smallest bet 1000, the biggest 1000,000 pounds. At that time she didn’t care about the losses, she kept playing for the wins. Her life evolved around casinos not just when she was working but back in Singapore too when she started to hit the cruise ships. Soon the debts started to pile up; she borrowed money, pawned her jewellery and finally she even had to sell her house. Then she hit rock bottom. But what was that low point? What made Suzann bring herself back from the point of no return? To find out the full story tune in to Talkabout and listen to Suzann’s extraordinary story.

Talkabout - Gambling in Singapore (Part 4) : The Cost Of Addiction
Published on Aug 26, 2014
What is it like to be married to someone who is a gambler? To be harassed constantly by loan sharks? To live in fear of the knock on the door? To live with someone who suffers from depression, has mental disorders and in some cases suicidal? The reality of a life as a gambler is bleak and the toll on family members is huge. As Pastor Billy Lee said, it is the family that suffers the most. The money lenders and the loan sharks, know that when all else fails they can target the families. They will use all kinds of rough tactics to get them to pay up.
In Par 4 of our discussion on gambling, The counsellors talk about harrowing cases where families have lost everything.
So how can addicts break the habit? Counsellor Dick Lum says they have to come out of denial and admit they have a problem. That is the first step. But it is quite a journey. Pastor Billy says that the majority of people who come to his centre to seek help have already relapsed 3 or 4 times. He said that 3 out of ten gamblers who join his support group will drop out; the rest will stay the course. Everyone, he says wants to try and break the cycle. They will promise their family members that this will be the last time and they are desperately sincere. It’s just that the addiction has such a grip that it takes a lot of will power to break the habit and most people cannot do that on their own. They need tremendous support. Because directly they have money in their hand they will think they can win back their losses.
Former airhostess, Suzann Sing said she was only able to break the habit through receiving support. To find out the full story about how she managed to break the habit tune into Part 4 of our debate on gambling.

Talkabout - Gambling in Singapore (Part 5) : The Recovery Journey
Published on Aug 26, 2014
Breaking the gambling addiction is tough. The relapse rate is high and recovery is a lifelong process. In fact, few people realise that it is tougher to break the gambling habit than drug addiction and alcoholism. The big issue here is that gamblers don’t recognise they have a problem
In counselling gamblers need tremendous support. They need to be trained to be a peer supporter; to be able to tell their story. Others will then look to them for encouragement and inspiration. It’s a case of ‘ ‘if he can do it, then perhaps I too can break the habit.’ It empowers the recovering gambler and, perhaps for the first time in their lives, gives them a sense of responsibility because others are dependent on them to succeed. This is why, as Dr Winslow says, the key to recovery is group therapy. Group recovery is much stronger because of the universality of their experiences, the sharing of hope, the sharing of support.
Support is critical because the urge to gamble again can be triggered any time, usually due to a crisis. Like alcoholics they can be abstinent for long periods of time but then something will happen and they revert to form. When this happens there’s a chemical change in the brain.
Dick has been on the Panel of Assessors for Exclusion Orders for 6 years. It’s made up of three people and when a family member applies for an exclusion order to ban a relative from entering casinos, Dick will be in court to hear the case.
But do exclusion orders work? To find out more tune into Part 5 of our debate on gambling.

Talkabout - Gambling in Singapore (Part 6) : The Rise Of Online Gambling
Published on Aug 26, 2014
Online gambling is a betting revolution. It’s so addictive that it’s been called the crack cocaine of gambling. It’s available anytime, any place. Here in Singapore it remains an unregulated industry as the current laws were drafted before the internet age. So, that means currently there are no laws governing online gambling. Anyone can gamble regardless of age – you just need to find a bookie willing and you can gamble on anything from football matches to poker. And as the industry is unregulated you could be exposing yourself to all sorts of scams. Your operator could be masquerading as several people playing against you – so he knows all the cards. That’s why there are calls for regulated internet operators who are subjected to checks and balances.
According to the counsellors on the panel, more gamblers are becoming hooked to on-line gambling. Dick says about 45 per cent of his clients are gambling on the internet. He says it’s the accessibility that is the problem – you can place a quick bet on your hand-phone when you nip off to the rest room.
The government does have plans to regulate But how do you control a business that you can’t touch, that can operate anywhere? So what can be done to make gambling safer? It’s a tough question – tune in to find out what our experts have to say.

Talkabout - Gambling in Singapore (Part 7) : Legislation and Online Gambling
Published on Aug 26, 2014
So how can you legislate against on- line gambling? At the moment, our gambling laws don’t especially address the problem of online gambling because they were drawn up before the internet age and so there’s an element of uncertainty to what extent it is actually prohibited. How can you prosecute someone for betting in a casino that is operating outside Singapore? The problem would also be one of enforcement.
So the next question is can on-line gambling sites be blocked? Can there be a blanket ban? The problem with any ban is that these technologies are good at hiding? You may block a URL which can then be masked so, as our expert lawyers on the panel argue, it’s therefore virtually impossible to block. In the USA there is a lot of opposition against gaming but as gambling operators are difficult to catch they go after the payment system instead under the Safe Port Act. So can Singapore introduce similar legislation and would it be effective?

Talkabout - Gambling in Singapore (Part 8) : Who Gambles Online?
Published on Aug 26, 2014
Many have never stepped foot in a casino or even played cards. So what turns someone into an on-line gambler? There are no shortage of stories of people whose lives are in tatters following a quick flutter on-line. So is there a typical profile of an online gambler?
It seems that social gamers – those who play games on the net – are more prone to taking up on-line gambling.
They may not be parting with money but they are susceptible to the thrill of the race and the collection of the points. It’s these people who can be easily converted into internet gamblers.
So what is the difference between an internet gambler and a big roller ? The panellists say it’s lifestyle. There are those people who love the lights, the dressing up, the showing off, the music, the pampering and the ambiance. Then, there are those who are quite happy to play anonymously in the comfort of their home. It seems that never the twain will meet, although not all panellists agree. It seems that the profile of the two types of gamblers could become less distinct over the coming years. The internet is becoming more sophisticated and although you may not get the red carpet treatment when you go online, some sites are increasingly simulating casinos.
