SMS from my wife this coming a day after the opening of the Sentosa Integrated Resort, two weeks ago. It contained just small talk but that makes me frown. I petikkan SMS it:''There are people Ina (so my wife uses for Indonesian acronym), was arrested at the airport stole HAPE. Hehe. Been losing money gambling. Subject to four weeks jail.''
SMS that he quote from the news of The Straits Times that he read that day. Cited to me the purpose is not for nothing. But, suddenly I felt myself shudder to imagine berjatuhannya other victims, particularly those of Indonesia, the casino is designed with the usual tourist attractions. In the world of gambling, have not been there the belief that a person can not win against the dealer? If lucky once, stump may have been thousands of times!
But the hobby is a hobby, and I imagine there will be thousands of Indonesian people who crowded the gambling tables casino on Sentosa or in the Marina. If the money is used gambling money from his own pocket, maybe I'm not going to write this article. But that I fear even when officials of this country who have a gambling craze, feels increasingly easy access to the opening of two casino in Singapore. How much money will they run out corruption and at the gambling table! Duh, I was so horrified at the thought.
Is not it common knowledge, Genting Highland, Malaysia's gambling area, crowded by officials from Indonesia! With official salaries seuplik, how could they be with gagahnya slammed on the card gaming table? Unless officials are entrepreneurs, I'm not sure we are able to pay officials maintain their hobby in casino gambling.
A colleague of mine who just confessed WN Singapore, his salary as a teacher in Singapore that the doubling of salaries of members of DPRD Batam, claimed not to be able to develop a hobby in the casino. A few days after the Sentosa and Marina Casino opened, he tried to play there. After a few hundred dollars, and kapok are not going to play there again. Well, what if a casino comes to Indonesian citizens there that the average wage? If money is not getting corrupted Indonesia, Singapore prison may be filled with Indonesian people who are forced to do crime because money had run out on the casino gaming table.
I hate gambling, more hate the government officials who like to gamble with the proceeds of corruption. My guess is probably half-hearted Government of Singapore casino to open these two. Yes, so long they considered extraordinary effects that can cause bad gambling arena. The Singapore Government may think very long to finally give permission for the operation of this Casino online in 2010.
The Singapore government ultimately chose the lure of high profits gained when the casino opened. Tourists certainly come, and of course with a wad of cash. For the record, the first casino operations, revenue teraup nearly three billion dollars in Singapore.
And this is wonderful! To overcome the bad effects to people, a number of strict rules applied. WN Singapore must pay 100 dollars for the entrance (while the stranger's free). Declared bankrupt by a court banned near casino! Subsidized forbidden to play at the casino! But you are WN Indonesia but had thousands of problems, Monggo ..., please come in! Spend your money on the gambling table for to be a Winner and Buy new Car!
