SINGAPORE - A 29-year-old gambling addict not only busted five credit cards to pay off his gambling debts, but also borrowed from nine credit companies to fulfill his payments.

Chinese newspaper Shin Min Daily reported that a 29-year-old engineer was so mired in debts that his aunts had to chip in to help him pay off $100,000 of his debts.

The man's father, Mr Foo, thought that he would turn over a new leaf after his debts were settled by his aunts, but was dismayed to find his son returning to his gambling habits.

Threatened to jump

After the aunts stopped helping the addict, he threatened to commit suicide by rushing to the kitchen window.

In the end, Mr Foo forked out the money to clear his son's debts. He now hopes that his son will apply for a self-exclusion order from the casino authorities.

Mr Foo is also now questioning why the banks did not cancel his credit card after they realised he was unable to fulfill his payments.

His son still owes credit card companies $20,000 and broke up with his girlfriend of 10 years because of his gambling habits.
 
He should be encouraged to jump. The rest of the country will be better off without the likes of him.

There will be no such problem if the government banned singaporeans from entry. Self exclusion order is all wayang. Gambling is an addiction. You are a gambler as long as you gamble in 4D / Toto. :eek:
 
You should only help an addict once. The second time should just cut everyone's losses and let him jump.

Right, not just 4D/Toto, go Batam, Cruise, underground casino, Genting, Macau, Australia etc.. Is not the place, is the addiction that needs to be curbed!!

:D
 
Threatened to jump is a cowardly and empty threat if not carried out:rolleyes:Jumpedwhether successful or unsuccessful is at least more heroic.:rolleyes:
 
gambling debts was owed to who?
why so stupid to jump from one debt to another? end up also bankrupt then dun cause family so much trouble la.
knn should withdraw all the money from credit cards and loan maximum then keep the money then declare bankrupt.
 
This man is such a loser. PTUI! Must be one hell of a spoilt brat who leeches on other people and make use of other people to cover up for his mistakes.

30 years old and cannot handle his own debt?!?! Then why fucking gamble?!? What a spoilt brat and loser.

Stupid idiot he should have just max out the cards and take the loan before declaring bankruptcy. Then he don't have to return the money to the casino and can still enjoy himself.
