I do not think that it is right to build a casino . Despite the fact that there are advantages, the negative effects of a casino outweigh its advantages.
It is true that by building a casino, the economy will be boosted and more jobs will have been created. However, the negative effects are much more. Building a casino will present opportunities to carry out illegal money-lending activities such as money laundering, embezzlement and bribery.
Also, a casino results in an increase in crimes as addicts who have run out of money, will attempt to get more money in hope that he will earn more through gambling. The first source he or she will turn to is family and relatives. If they refuse to fund his gambling habits, he will, in a desperate attempt, rob or steal to obtain money without a thought about others. These acts are destroying the moral values of the people. They will not care about others or even themselves.
Therefore, I object to the opening of a casino in Singapore which will ultimately do more harm than good to the people.
