TAIWANESE pop star Jay Chou lost nearly S$2mil (RM4.6mil) at a casino in Singapore, Nanyang Siang Pau reported. The superstar had visited the Marina Bay Sands Casino during his concert tour in the republic last month.

He gambled off between S$100,000 and S$200,000 (RM232,000 and RM463,000) per bet. In just two days, Chou lost almost S$2mil (RM4.6mil) playing bacarrat.

A customer of the casino said Chou was accompanied by his manager and male friends. According to the customer, Chou had good etiquette on the gambling table and he only wanted to be served by “aunties”.

I don't believe he lost 2 million of his own money.

Casinos will give superstars like Jay Chou a lot of complementary chips to play there. It's good publicity for everyone.

S$2million is < RMB$10million right?

It's RM (ringgit) 4.6 Mil in the article, not RMB.
No idea why they used RM though, perhaps the same report was used in Malaysia.

But I have an idea why he wanted to be served by "aunties". He didn't want to be "distracted".

Next time he will skip the Singapore leg of his World Tour. Not only he have to sing for free, he also have to cough out more... So no no for Singapore next time... Just bring bad luck.
