    As a matter if fact, I really hope PAP does it... The harsher the better.

    Best:
    -Install ERP for all roads connecting to ALJ GRC
    -Cut all funding for HDB
    -ALJ GRC Residents pay triple amount of taxes than fellow Singaporean
    -Increase Hawkers stall rental there...
    -ambulance take donkey time to reach....
    ...
    ...
    ...

    Why can't PAP adopt "以德服人"?

    For one, I disagree with Casino.
    -A colleague divorced her husband after 20years of marriage due yo casino debt.
    -A childhood friend of mine run into gambling problem at MBS, i help to pay his kid's education fee every months via passing money to his wife (which accidentally my wife kindergarten's classmate)
    -there are many more social problems then you actually tot.

    As for. Benefits.. Hmm.. Was told decision to go with casino aids job creation The hard truth, jobs go to FT instead. Dun't believe? Go there to take a look to draw your own conclusion.

    As for GY, he is from City Harvest, rite?
    Going back on your believe for casino, rite meh?

    Politics are never clean. Everyone behind in the party has to tow the line. Look at those who do not tow will have to go as you can see with former Pres Ong (no state funeral) and some MPs this round.

    Vote opposition and vote for first world parliament. Vote pap and continue to be bullied for another 5years with higher cost of living, higher taxes, marginalisation of singaporeans through foreign immigration policies.

    Bro, you have hit the jackpot on my behalf and you have brought quite a handful for me to answer....

    For gambling,
    1) Who own Singapore Pool?
    2) Who push for Casino?

    Yes, I don't pity gamblers as they have their part to blame.
    However, can you dismissed the fact that Garment also need to be scrutinise too?

    Which is nearer? Going to Genting or going to MBS/Sentosa?
    The logic goes with condo near MRT loh...
    When you bring it closer, more will go and with more to go, how?

    For Gambling vs Investing (CPF???)
    I think it would be very challenging to argue with the claim that investing is a good thing. Commonly, investing is widely regarded as the engine that drives capitalism and greed. It tends to put money in the hands of those with the most promising and productive uses for it, and drives the economy gradually upward. Investors aren't merely betting on which companies will succeed, they're providing the capital those companies need to accomplish their goals.

    Gambling, on the other hand, tend to brings with it well-documented unpleasant side effects. I'll leave it up to the forumer members here to decide whether gambling is, on the balance, a plus or a minus. Looking to the financial markets, it's not difficult to observe one could make the case that people who gamble in this realm often hope to strike rich in a fast and furious manners.

    The questions of whether gambling is morally wrong and how strictly it should be regulated are important. I have no problem with a person being morally opposed to gambling, as long as that person knows exactly what he/she means by 'gambling' or investing in CPF. However, by turning to Sins Industry such as Casinoes opening up in Singapore, it give me the feeling that PAP has run out of ideals what to bring Singaporeans forward.

    It is not possible to achieve all these with any parties. They will need a balance of all these.

    Bro ay123, thanks for bring this up.
    Thanks for making my job easier to bring across my points...

    1) Cost of living will come down?
    3) medical cost will come down?
    4) property price will go up?
    Thanks to MBT's land policies. See what happened to industrial/commercial land sales now... Industrial land bidding hitting 500~600 psf. Do you think that is good for Singapore?

    Don't you know this will push up business costs (fixed costs) for company operating in Singapore? Assuming all factors being equal and constant(labour costs and variable costs), what would happened to costs of living?

    Then when the costs of living goes up, what can we lesser mortal do then?

    Ask yourself, are we financially ready to shoulder current land costs and hosuing price bor? Remember, housing price will need to be backup by income.

    With business costs goes up and assuming incomes need to raise to meet high costs of living. Do you think Singapore can be competitive in global competition? Hope now you understand why garment keep surpressing our income growth and also PAP turns to sins industry....

    2) GST will come down?
    5) all the needy will be taken care of?
    Thaman just said we are financially sound, thus a little cut back to help us during this hard time, can bor?

    Also, since we are financially able now, a small cut make a long way for poor can bor?

    It makes no sense for government to advocate thrift, hardwrk and prudence and have the govt build a casino for people to squander away their hard earned money. All that talk about helping problem gamblers blar blar blar is just so fake[/LIST]

    Personally, if the government is genuine about protecting the citizens and just tapping on foreign gamblers, it should NOT be a self exclusion policy like now to enter casinos but a OPT IN policy for citizens. Like this, only those who genuinely want to gamble, will take the trouble to opt in. We can also have a opt in period, after this period, to go again, citizen need to apply again. Can have various form to opt in, online also can since it is social, perhaps we may be going with families also to enter Universal Studios. After all, most of us do visit Genting once a year, or once every half a year, not much trouble for us to opt in. But for true gamblers, really want to gamble, then surely they can buy yearly pass or apply for opt in and specify period. But by opting in, it does sent a Further clearer message that government try to find additional ways to protect citizens....and not encourage gambling

    IMHO, building two casinoes are like allowing brothels opening in your condo project. MC would claimed these brothels helps to reduced monthly maintenance costs (for sure lah, rental income mah). AFter letting in, many husbands start visiting these brothels while. Wife cannot tahan and start complaining to MC. MC threatened that if without brothels, maintenance costs would goes up!

    We will be FIXED by then...

    bro , u blame the govt for a man whom failed his family? i also go casino, i also lose $$$. If he is a MAN, admit he bring his own downfall. He ownself pay $100 and walk into the casino. PAP already tell singaporeans the casino is not meant for them, dont go. Govt didnt create social problem. Its the gamblers who create it.

    u think about it..... those pple choose it. they dont lose their fortune in 1 time. Its a decision over a period to continue to go gambling.

    PPle lose $$$ on stock market, can they blame govt open stock brokage?
    PPle kanna ***ual diease, can they blame govt legalize geylang? OKT dont shoot me pls.

    jobs and growth.....

    more foreign investment-->more monies flowing in-->more coy setting up-->more jobs

    casino improves service sector.....tourism booms.....but not just tat.....ppty booms.....construction booms.....furniture biz booms....taxis boomss.....jobs booms.....many more.....VICE biz aso BOOM.....geylang OKT super HUAT!!! hahaha

    i just list out some.....i am sure they r many more tangible and intangible benefits
    tink along tat train of tots....casino does bring growth and branding to SG....

    of coz, all these benefits dun comes for free.....it create social problems and unrest like wat westman bro had dutifully pointed out....

    its all about striking a balance

    i am not saying PAP r perfect.....but i support the idea of opening up of 2 IRs
