Government says that they are still gathering feedback before actual embarkment on the casino project. But signs are showing that it’s a definite go ahead on the project.
I was still hoping that there was a chance that they will not go ahead with it, but that chance diminished as the news reported that the government has hired PWC as consultant for the casino. So much for a consultative government.
Gambling is not something one can control. It’s influence is beyond what they can comprehend. IF it’s something they can control, they would not have been influenced to consider starting one in Singapore in the first place. They would have just stood by the decision to not start one ever.
It’s also a proven fact that once people gamble, the tendency is that control will be lost. There are so many examples of people loosing their fortune and ability to maintain a cool mind to make the correct decisions. And there’s so many white collar crimes all relating to gambling.
Mark my words, they are getting into something that will just spiral out of their control. It will definitely be a very humbling experience for the snobs in our goverment but by then it may be too late.
aiyah, they will just reshuffle the people involved to some other departments.
