Casino Royale

This is the strongest indication of a casino go-ahead so far.

MM Lee at a conference in Fullerton Hotel

He said he believed there would be trouble with casinos, but there will be more trouble if Singapore did not.

There is no reason for the media buildup that is so obvious these few days, and no reason that the buildup will end in an anti-climax.

But then again, the devil is in the details. How will it be implemented? a Member's only operation? Where will it be built? Marina South or Sentosa?

Well, I could be wrong come 18th April.

The Home Affairs released a paper written by Chia Teck Leng, the infamous APB finance manager who used company money to gamble.

I was thinking the motivation behind why Home Affairs release such a paper, unless, well, the Casino is a forgone conclusion, and to demostrate that the Singapore Govenment has considered dissenting views against the Casino.

This is a paper detailing how the ill effects of a Casino can be nullified.
It would be different if they released a paper detailing why Casino must not be built.

Food for thought.
