Singapore Casinos

(4) The Minister may, after the expiration of 10 years commencing from the date on which a second site for a casino is designated by an order made under section 2(2), by order published in the Gazette, vary the entry levies specified in subsection (1).

The following is from the Casino Control Act and was noted by Gerald Giam in his Parliamentary speech. It suggests that the PAP are expecting that after 10 years, casino gambling will probably become widely accepted and the levy can be removed.

I wont be surprised that after 10years:

1. 3rd Casino
2. no levy for locals
3. casinos are free to do promotions to attract gamblers
4. proliferation of crimes
5. more suicides
6. more orphans
7. more prostitutes
8. many poor Singaporeans
9. many singaporeans are homeless
10.PAP is the Opposition

Noting your final point, casinos are desirable to have after all.

I think the pap has deteriorated to the extent that even without the casino issue, it will still be voted out in 10 years time.

so it's not the casinos that caused the downfall of the pap.

It will not be the Opposition which won the elections in 10years time. It's the pap which lost. The pap's loss is the Opposition's gain.

If the Opposition is united, I see the pap falling earlier. So let's hope

Less likely with more foreigners taking up citizenship. I think there's a better chance of 4 casinos in SG...

How many foreigners can the pap make singaporeans.

I know some ex foreigners, who are recently converted Singaporeans, are already disillusioned and are anti pap.

so many of these ex foreigners may vote against the pap at the next GE.

so if the pap is banking on the support of ex foreigners, it may get a shock
