And now they say that Singaporeans are more matured.
Oh yeah. More matured. Give me a break. Any ideas what people call Singapore a nanny state? -
trust me, there will be a casino. its pretty pbvious by now. like it or not its gonna open, just dat there will be more articles abt it on ST so dat it seems like they are listening. since when did the gahmen listen to us ? $$$$$$$$$$$$$, its all abt $$$$$$$$$$$$$. anyone disagree ?Originally posted by SnowFlag:I am right that the garment hd always wanted to open the casino. But it needed a way to carry out so that ppl will made less "noise". And hence through the "consultative" method. Probably only a few ppl here understand what i m trying to say. -
Will ONE casino be enough to attract the large scale investment that is needed to attract tourist? In time we will argue that we can support 2 and then 3. Soon it is the "Strip" we are talking about.
Our image of a safe and clean financial, electronics, bio-science and whatever hub will now include gambling. Soon we will boast of our economy brought by gambling. Imagine GDP growth of 9%because the gambling sector is booming as the cry of the day! 60,000 jobs created because of it!
But some say, casino is not all about gambling. It is also about high class attractions that will draw in the tourists. If one has been to Las Vegas, you will see that beyond the lights, smoke and sounds the illusions given by the casino kingpings are just that, an illusion. The city practically sleeps in the daytime. As without the camouflage of the lights, smoke and sounds, it appears that Vegas in nothing but a piece of desert with no soul.
OK so we cannot be so single-minded and just talk about social aspects of this proposal but consider the higher consideration of "are we mature enough to decide and handle" the issue. Question is what has to do with a Casino? I do not think my maturity and ability to handle such issues has any relations to Casino when I would rather spend time on School Pocket Money Fund, NKF charities, etc.
We should spend time to learn from places like Dubai which is able to turn a barren place into such a desired place to be! To be candid, most western civilisation are on their decline. Mirroring and aping their success is not the solution. We are at our creative bankrupt! We need new blood that can create new ideas and not re-hash old western concepts. Just because a casino is the easiest to create wealth, create jobs, etc does not mean it is the one and the better idea.
That was like 2 dollars worth.

The gahmen always same pattern de mah. Put some news is to get u mentally prepared. Who said anything about getting the citizens' agreement? U disagree oso no use. The media will then proceed to ask 'people on the street' on their opinions, and lo and behold!! Most (if not all) will agree with the policy~!!
The rivets for the windows case also another example. Obviously so many people disagree, but so what????????! One thing I don't understand is - how come non-criminal offense can end up in jail huh? strange... hmmm... -
newspaper = gahmen propaganda.
its no longer factual imho -

of cos, i am not so pro-gahmen as one might think although i was once a 'seawer serwern'. most of the richmen gamblers here invest their $ outside at other casinos like last yr or so there was a cheat nabbed who played high-stakes are vegas and casinos at other countries. if we have a casino here, those people will play here instead and since u know '10 bets 9 lose', gahmen can siphon the rich fella $ back directly at a faster rate as win-lose only take 1 second when the banker lift the belljar or show his cards. now u know why they only allow the richer people into the casino ?Originally posted by SnowFlag:hey, u understand what i m saying 
Objective : Direct siphon $ from the rich fellas so dat the $ don't get wasted on foreign land instead.
got a proverb 'fat water don't flow to outsiders' land'....understand ? if someone rich wanna gamble 5M, they rather he lose it to the gahmen than at vegas or other places.
wats so hard to understand ? its just siphoning of $. as simple as dat. recreation will be the excuse to be used to build casino. wats new ? just need abit of delay to pretend there is 'consideration' going on....all these tricks working adults will know...nothing fanciful. -
