I just notice a few interesting facts about George Yeo, Roman Catholic, Vatican Commission, Casino and Gambling in Singapore. :eek:

George Yeo is a religious Roman Catholic believer.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Yeo

However he is also one of the few generals in PAP that proposed Singapore to set up 2 casinos in Marina and Sentosa.

He was also appointed by Vatican as special Vatican commission and Catholic Singapore Association is very happy with his appointment.

I want to know if Roman Catholic believers are allowed to gamble and promoting gambling and casino?

Gambling is a personal choice..in most countries, the catholic church is at the forefront of discouraging gambling...in singapore they are muted as they fear the PAP.

Anyway george yeo is an asshole, i never know why some say he is ok, a good minister and so on...he was an asshole with the likes of Vivian, MBT etc..

George Yeo is a staunch Roman Catholic but he's also a realist. I am ok as he does not allow his religious views to cloud his judgement. I will have a problem with him if he does. However I have a big problem with him being with the PAP.

Greed overrides all beliefs and experiences.

Could gambling habit of LKY's father has anything to do with him saying casinos would be allowed in Singapore only “over my dead body.”?

In one of LKY's book:


In another source: Singapore Infopedia
Lee's gambling habit put strains on his relationship with his wife. He would gamble at the Chinese Swimming Club and at times return home in an angry mood, demanding jewellery from his wife to pawn for more funds to continue.
Note: Lee is Lee Chin Koon, father of Lee Kuan Yew

For whatever reason only known to old fart himself, he started to build not one, but two casinos.

It is no different from a person whose love ones abuses drug, but he himself has became a drug lord just because of money.
So, is such person a man of integrity and great man worthy of praises?

Only blind and retarded sycophants are singing praises of old fart.

haven't seen him running around Bedok reservoir much these days

He's now vice chairman of Kerry group in China right? If so, should be spending most of his time in China or HK these days.

He's still not quite as fervent a believer as Paul Lim. :wink:

It is a grave mistake to treat addictive activities as personal choice. Is drug taking a personal choice that should be allowed? Is the father who borrows from loan shark or kills his family due to casino losses doing so out of choice?

I think we need to strike a balance. I wouldn't want to live in a society where gambling, vice, and other 'alternate' lifestyles are outlawed....might as well migrate to N Korea or Iran!! But we need to keep the balance in check.

Bro, that depends on what kind of Balance or the definition of balance. In the nutshell Singapore is a small country built on the basis of meritocracy which its leaders have high morality with strong principle of confucianism but Singapore is also a strange country in Asia / world that:

1) a tiny island with 2 casino.
2) legalized prostitution.
3) its leaders have highest pay in the world.
4) its government buys Brompton Bike and Herman Miller chairs for its civil servants.
5) confucianism and morality but Dr Vivian debated vigorously on hawker and restaurant food.
