Health Minister Khaw reminds S'poreans not to make a living by gambling
SINGAPORE : Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan, who was visiting some rental flats in his constituency on Sunday, has reminded Singaporeans that gambling is not a way to make a living.
Mr Khaw, who is also MP for Sembawang GRC, said: "...if you think
that through gambling you can make a living, make a killing or beat the
odds, do not do that. Whether there will be more problems, whether
there is a casino or no casino, people still want to gamble, and people
will still want to get into trouble.
"So prevention is still the best. Whether with the opening (of the
casino) there will be more gambling addiction problems is hard to say,
because even without the casinos, people are going gambling anyway.
Genting Highlands is not far away. So it is still ourselves, looking at
a practical way to make an honest living, and do not try to think that
you can beat the odds against the casino operator."
