How casinos are destroying Singaporeans - TRUE STORIES

[Jah_rastafar_I]

ban ppl playing stocks and playing foreign currency

Talking about forex and stocks there are tons and tons of books written on them especially forex with theories and fibunacci or kukunaucci theories for eg. Candlesticks and so on. These don't guarantee any wins. Then there are those illiterate uncles and aunties that literally gamble on forex or the market by follwing ah gao their neighbour to buy 500 lots of ah ter shares no need to read the share book or look up the net with all those confusing numbers or burn incense to the rubbish ghost to ask for advice.

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.

Ban all cars and motobikes too, since they cause road accidents.

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

the moral duty of a human being is to control his own vices
the moral duty of a good government is to control and prevent undue exposure of vices to its people
most of us cannot control ourselves. so a good government is one who will minimise its people to such dangers, risks and vices
look around you...are you exposed? to gambling? to casinos? to singapore pools? to women? to all sorts of vices?

blame ourselves yes...but we have to protect those who cannot control themselves and who are more vulnerable....that's the type of society we wish to develop....

so in short...to avoid all these casualties and deaths and tragedies, BAN THE CASINOS...............oops!!!

 

[Narong Wongwan]

This government is run like a profit driven corporation.
Nothing else matters except profit maximization.
We are mere expendable digits.
They have no moral obligations to us.

Fined the 2 a few hundreds thousands and then


resurface again after another 12 months ...


Just like Traffic Police give summons enough then


cALL IT A DAY ....

I really dun care about these people. Just let them jump MRT, swim in Bedok reservoir or jump HDB. Why should we care about their gambling addiction? What does the opposition want? more control? or less control? They want PAP out because they think PAP taken too much control, or opposition want to be gov to make more law to control the people? i think opposition want to be in power to enrich themselves since they seen the wealth of PAP members, and nothing about helping the people.

Tales from a cab driver: How casinos are destroying Singaporeans/B] .........This was a young man, may be about 26 years, probably just started working in the financial district of Shenton Way. He flagged my taxi at the road along the Marina Sand Casino and asked me to drive him home quickly. It was about 4.30 am already on a weekday. He had to rush back to take a nap, then change and go to work again. He told me he would go to the Marina Sand Casino immediately after work and gamble until 3 to 5 am the next morning and then went to work again, at least 2 or 3 times a week. He said he often lost lately and had almost maximize his credit cards to finance the losses.
. A True-Bred Singaporean

You are fantastically right - without an iota of doubt - about tales told by taxi-drivers. How else to explain how the young man could lose so much money - without turning to crimes? It must be the reason why Singapore has turned into a crime-infested country.

You are absolutely right again on another account. I am already bored - with the up-dated fairy tales told by taxi-drivers!

The last time one taxi-driver told me about a beautiful, perfume-scented female passenger who paid him generously in big notes, inclusive of midnight charges. It turned out to be hell-money.

That story seems to be more exciting and scary.

really opposition, maybe you can enlighten me, how the opposition going close down the casino, when the contract has been sign, going to break it and ruin singapore credibility? rather than crying over things that cannot be changed, tried to help those gamblers directly.

Thats why nowadays when u talk to singaporean men they look at you and appears to be listening but actually mind is elsewhere thinking of how to get out of this shit

IMHO, Hardcore gambling already existed long before the 2 casinos are opened. The most notorious and legal one is Horse Racing. Ah Longs make big money because there are so many horse punters around. Not sure what is the Horse Racing scene now? During the 80s and 90s, every saturday and sunday are busy days for the punters. Why is horse racing so addictive? Think it has got to do with the "Don't Believe" and "Um Gam Guan" attitude. I myself was caught in this addiction for a few years and it was difficult to get out.

Casino gambling a little different from Horse racing. Casino is perceived as more high class than horse racing. However, I notice many of the games are extremely fast moving, Games, like Baccarat and Big-Small, especially Baccarat which I consider it a "Fire" aka "Huay Sio Giow" game.

Lost a big chunk of fortune due to this addiction but did manage to get out eventually. Also learn something from gambling which is "Never invest more that what you can afford to".
