Whats up with this WL, was in operation just barely 2 months, cant be so fast game over already? no sound no picture no updates on FB.
Now we have monopoly again, can suka suka up prices again, no need give much rebates again, all the pirate casino pattern come out in play again, punters get the short end of the stick again.
Hope for 1 or 2 more casino cruise come operate here to balance the scale, only then can consumers win.

hard to regulate floating casinos.
Better all the banks never close the doorsanother 2 more will be just nice.
hearsay , bro hor lee recently ended his long campaign fighting for punters' rights against casino scams onboard Cruise Ships Singapore Seas.
The long fight led by bro Horlee against dishonest floating casinos has finally come to an end.
After many years of looking out for the "uncles and aunties" on these cruise ships, Horlee has decided to stop his campaign because he is getting older and his strength is not what it used to be.
He is now stepping back and leaving the battle to the proper authorities.
For a long time, Horlee was the one warning people about the "scams" happening in no man's land, where Singapore laws do not reach. Now that he is retiring from this role, the responsibility for checking these ships falls to the governments of the countries where the ships sail.
It is now up to the official police and gambling regulators to make sure these operators play fair and don't cheat their passengers.
The job of watching over these casinos also goes to the countries where the ships are registered, known as the "flag states."
Since Horlee is no longer the watchdog on the ground, these official departments must be the ones to handle complaints about rigged games or unfair treatment.
Even though Horlee is moving on, his many years of hard work have shown everyone the importance of being careful when gambling in international waters.

hearsay , Jo got plan B ,
Joseph Phua is a highly successful Singaporean entrepreneur and venture capitalist, recognized primarily as the co-founder of the dating app **Paktor**.
After Paktor's merger with the Taiwanese livestreaming giant **17 Media**, he steered the combined entity, **17LIVE Group**, into becoming a major social entertainment force in Asia. Under his leadership as Executive Chairman and CEO, the group made history by completing the first de-SPAC transaction on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) in late 2023. Beyond social tech, Phua operates **Turn Capital**, his personal family office and investment vehicle, through which he acquires and revitalizes undervalued consumer and media brands, such as the podcasting giant SoundOn and the news outlet Nextapple News.
In late 2025, Phua significantly diversified his portfolio by entering the maritime and leisure industry through the launch of **World Cruises**. This venture, fronted by Turn Capital, operates the **MV World Legacy**, a vessel retrofitted from the former cruise ferry *Moby Zaza*. Marketed as a "playground at sea," the ship operates within the Singapore Strait, catering to passengers from both Singapore and Malaysia who access the vessel via fast ferries.
While primarily functioning as a floating leisure and entertainment destination, the vessel has drawn comparisons to the historical "floating casinos" of the region due to its offshore positioning and "staycation" appeal.
The maritime venture faced a serious challenge in February 2026 when a fire broke out in the lounge area of the **MV World Legacy** while it was anchored at the Raffles Reserved Anchorage.
The incident led to the evacuation of over 200 passengers and tragically resulted in the death of one crew member due to smoke inhalation. Despite this setback, the venture remains a key part of Phua’s broader "value TMT" strategy—applying tech-style operational efficiency to traditional industries. He continues to balance these high-stakes turnarounds with his role at 17LIVE, where he maintains a vision of competing globally with platforms like TikTok.
### **Quick Profile Reference**
* **Full Name:** Joseph Phua Jiexian
* **Primary Roles:** CEO & Executive Chairman of **17LIVE Group**; Chairman of **Turn Capital**.
* **Key Ventures:** Paktor (Dating), SoundOn (Podcasts), Nextapple News (Media), King’s Lynn Town FC (Sports), and World Cruises (Maritime).
* **Education:** BSc in Finance (NYU Stern); MBA (University of Chicago Booth School of Business).
