MY OPINONATED VIEWS...
THE EVILS OF GAMBLING ARE KNOWN TO MANY BUT HOW MANY ARE ACTUALLY AWARE OF
THIS UNIMAGINEABLE EVIL WITH THE CAPACITY TO EAT INTO EVERYONE'S LIVES...
PROSTITUION.. WHEN GAMBLERS WIN MONEY, THEY TEND TO WANT TO HAVE A QUICK FIX AT THE CONSTANT URGING OF THESE PROSTITUTES.. AND NORMALLY YOU DUN HAVE TO SEARCH VERY HARD FOR ANSWERS.. THE CHINA GIRLS HANG ARD LIKE GEYLANG..
ILLEGAL MONEY LENDING IS A PROBLEM YOU WOULD HAVE TO ANTICIPATE AS WELL..
SO WE SEE A UPCOIMING RISE IN LOAN-SHARKIN INDUSTRY ??
THERE ARE PPLE LOSING SO MUCH MONEY THAT THEY DUN HAVE MONEY FOR A COACH RIDE BACK HOME..
THESE PPLE OFTEN TIMe TRY TO HITCH A RIDE WITH CHARTERED COACHES OR HANG ARD THE BUS TERMINALS HOPING TO SPOT A KIND-HEARTED BUS DRIVER TO OFFER THEM A FREE RIDE HOME..
THESE CASES ARE SEEMINGLY RARE BUT IT TELLS US OF THE OBESSIVE COMPLUSION
PPLE HAVE WITH GAMBLING..
DO YOU WANT SINGAPORE TO TURN INTO A COUNTRY OBSESSED WITH GAMBLING SO MUCH
THAT THEY SLIP INTO COMPLUSIVE OBSESSION..
WE ALREADY HAVE LEGALISED GAMBLING IN FORMS OF TOTO, 4D, FOOTBALL, BIG
SWEEP. COUNTRY CLUBS ORGANISE EVENTS LIKE LUCKY DRAW, RAFFLES, TOMBOLA,
JACKPOT BONAZAs & BINGO. SNOOKER CLUBS WITH THEIR NUMBER BALLS. SINGAPOREANS
HAVE MORE THAN THEIR FAIR SHARE OF CHOICE OF GAMBLING.
THE QUESTION NOW IS DO WE HAVE TO ADD MORE TO THIS ALREADY SEEMINGLY LARGE
PLATE.
SOME GOVT MEMBERS SAY IT'S TO INCREASE REVENUE.. HAHA.. SO DO WE DO IT AT
THE EXPENSE OF OUR MORAL ETHICS AND CIVIL SAFETY. IS REVENUE EVERYTHING ? IS
MONEY REALLY EVERYTHING ? IS THIS THE KIND OF MORAL & ETHICAL LESSON WE
WANNA SET FOR OUR YOUNGER GENERATION OF SINGAPOREANS.
IT'S TRUE THAT WE CANNOT DO WITHOUT MONEY.
BUT DO WE ENCOURAGE 'REAPIN WAT U DID NOT SOW' OR RATHER THE TRIED & TESTED
'REAP WAT U SOWED'. i FIRMLY BELIEVE OUR NATION IS BUILT UP NOT WITH A
NATION OF GAMBLERS AND FOREIGNERS COMING IN WITH THEIR MONEY TO GAMBLE. OUR
NATION IS BUILT ON HARD WORK BY OUR ANCESTORS WITH THEIR TOIL & SWEAT ,
BELIEVING IN WORKING HARD TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS & SAVING UP FOR A RAINY DAY.
THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINONATED VIEW. I MIGHT BE WRONG. I MIGHT SEEM 'OLD SCHOOL' BUT I PREFER IT THIS WAY.
