I like Genting's cool weather. Genting cinema is similar to SG small cinema in those muti cinema complex.

Really?! Government get $2B revenue from the 2 IR? from last year or since IR started? I wonder how much they get from Spools & Turf club?
I think gov collect more revenue from singaporean via Spools/Turf club then the 2 IR. Possible?
SG casino = quick dead, tote board = slow dead.
My question was "is it a blessing that SG is getting $2B gambling revenue" from RWS and MBS?

Money isn't the answer to everything but to answer your question - better to be rich and unhappy than poor and unhappy.

Cheers!

MBS raked in gross gaming revenue of over US$2 billion last year.

Meanwhile, its rival Resorts World Sentosa recorded net gaming revenue of close to US$2.6 billion in 2011.

Analysts said the combined gross gaming revenue of Singapore's two casinos is about US$5.7 billion.

some people go to genting to gamble

some go to genting for the cool weather

some go to genting to take a break from work

some go to genting to bond with family members

some go to genting to spend time with loved ones



Every now and then my khakis and I would drive up to KL, check into The Oriental Hotel, and then at dawn we would ride 21 kms on our bicycles from McDonald's up to Gentings Highlands.

When we succeed riding up, we would kiss the ground and scream in ecstasy.

is it good to be rich at the expense of others' misery?

define good.
define rich.
define misery.

your question is multi faceted.

money is power,
but money is fiat,
so power is fiat.
take away fiat, there is no power.

that is why in this system, there must be the rich, and there must be the poor. it is inevitable.

Spools i dunno but no way turfclub can rake in a billion a year. Just look at the each race pools will give u an indication how much turfclub revenue in a single race day. Some local races pool struggle to reach even $100k and even the SIA cup win pool cannot even cover the prize money.
