How casinos are destroying Singaporeans - TRUE STORIES

[GoldenDragon]

I just find it insane that there are ppl that can become bankrupt and then borrow from loan sharks just to keep on gambling. It really blows the mind.

Pathological gamblers. Many around. Sometimes, I suspect winning or losing doesn't matter to them. The urge to gamble is more important. Without these chaps, Ah Longs' biz will drop significantly.

i agree with you bro, those pathological will find ways to gamble and its not about winning ...they feel " high " when they gamble . some of my friends is like that .

You know there really seems to be a huge amount of these ppl around. That's why this taxi driver had stories to tell. With drug addiction you can understand cos drugs chemically alter one's mind but this gambling thing that gets one hooked and high is more confusing. Isn't it similar to say addiction to watching tv or playing pc games? Now i don't think there are that many ppl that are so addicted to pc games that they will not even eat or drink or spend their life savings. Drug addicts won't eat or drink just to take drugs but their brain chemistry has been altered so i just find it odd that there are ppl that can wipe out all their savings as in doing so much damage to themselves just to get that "high" you understand what i mean? Like how come a video gamer won't sacrifice his life to get that high but a gambler will.

I hope all Singaporeans will join hands with me to reject this evil industry. Let’s boycott going to the casinos. Without local Singaporeans’ patronage, the casinos will wind up in no time.

Yes, it's an evil industry. Many "Heavyweight" MIWs objected to it too. An emergency meeting was held late into the night but to no avails. Your Master never told you that?

I am sure many of us can't be bothered if a gamblers lose everything and drop dead penniless. I am no different.

But it is seldom that cut and dry. Inevitably the family, the relatives and then society has to carry the burden. Taxpayers will have to foot the bill. Abuse of spouses and children are the usual consequence. We must be kidding ourselves if we think there is little or no impact. This is the reason why casinos and gambling are heavily controlled by every country.

We control drugs, guns, porn etc for similar reasons. Again I can't be bothered if these people overdose or shoot themselves. But they have the habit of harming others who are innocent to pay for their drugs, to show their manhood.

Notice governments do not regulate ice creams. Ever wonder why not but for some crazy they control guns, drugs and gambling? Notice that they are pretty universal across the world. Well the whole world cannot be wrong.

A true story - i got a friend who gambles at least twice a week at Marina bay sands. Most of the time i hear that he lost money although sometimes he wins few hundred in a night. He problem is the money he lost is far more than the moneh he won and sometimes even with $20 left he will still go to the casino to try his luck. Thats how addictive gambling is.

Ah Sam, someone else invited the Devil into my house.

Casinos aren't destroying Singaporeans. Singaporeans destroy themselves when they make a conscious decision to gamble away their life savings.

bro , the reason that goverment do not regulate ice-cream because theres not much money to be made for the goverment .

weapons , drugs , gambling and prostitution its a oldest profession and alot of ppl dont really like that kind of biz around due to their own religion and media brainwashing , thats why politician will do anything to keep his job to get votes from their own ppl .


ps: politicians are the same all over the world . they promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.

Might as well just go the whole hog and introduce dress codes for women, ban alcohol which causes much more death, misery and destruction than gambling does and a curfew for all those under 18 to protect precious youth.

Once you start legislating "morality", there is no turning back.
