LHL - We need to a few more years to see social impact of casinos
- Thread starter Confuseous
- Start date
Look at the proliferation of pawnshops and moneylenders after the first casino had opened its doors for business.
You think they don't affect the non-gamblers too?
You still need a few more years to study the social impacts of casinos?
According to my friends in the moneylenders' business, the Registrar of Moneylenders is no longer issuing licenses, even for branches of current ones. They were told the authorities were monitoring the current situation wrt abuses, agressiveness, MO of debt collection etc matters. Only an idiot would believe the reasons given. Imo, it is intimately connected to the casinos. The govt doesn't want the moneylending biz to proliferate for political reason. Hard for the chenghu to deny that both moneylenders' biz and that of the casinos are linked.
And the pinoys go home, after serving their apprenticeships in Singapore?
Translation: We like the money, what's a few shattered lives , we're all adults what.
Someone should tell PM Lee that none of the benefits have trickled to the people at large. If the casinos were used to fund a social safety net e.g old age pensions, we can at least see some justification for perpetrating this vice. If jobs in the resorts had been reserved for Singaporeans, we might agree there was some benefit. The taxes fom the casinos go into the surplus and is locked away for somebody's rainy day. It's time to make the reserves work for the people not vice versa. The fund should be prudently invested and the returns used to make Singaporeans lives a little less anxious and a bit more secure.

They started the ball rolling but did not expect the impact.
Now outside many are doing the illegal alongside the legal...with shared database even.
That's so much they can do now the evil seeds have been planted.
Thse people will always remember SINGAPORE as their saviour. A Nation that stood by them and against their own Singaporeans.
Dunno which other country (sorry, island-state) in the World is so good for jobless and low-paid Singaporeans to enjoy what foreigners get here. Other Nations seeing us doing this will arrest us, make us persona-no-grata and tell us to F**k off for they strongly feel that the Nation is theirs.........
The wages here will still be higher than in PH, so they will remain. sinkapore is their second home ...someday, 20 percent of the population of sinkapore will be pinoy.
Quality of life in the Philippines is also pretty bad e.g traffic jams, violent crimes, lousy food, kidnappings of chinese filipinos, violent storms, ...
