  After reading the article on Lee's comments on Casino, I just feel that the Singaporeans are taken for a ride as usual.
  
  "Let's build the casino first, then we can build the centre to cure gambling"
  
  If the decision is already final in his opinion, why do we have to waste taxpayer's money to do a "debate" ?
  
  Next moment, we will be having "Let's the drugs come in, we have more rehab center build later"
  
  This marks an era for the downfall of Singapore - Moral Corruption.
  
  For the sake of money, everything also can be done.
  
  Then, why do we need the Government in the first place ?????

  Cure later ? If Nicol higway collapse can be blamed on contractor, why can't social problems be blamed on people or the gambling addicts themselves?

  Aiyah, gambling is everywhere, its just high-class or low-class only. But I wonder if there is any other agenda, other than money involved.
