The Casino
Recently, the Singapore's very first casino has opened after some time of the government deciding whether to build it or not. They could earn money and more tourists and more reputation but there's still the problem of problem gambling. Loansharking too. So to fix this, the government puts a $100 levy (I think) for any Singaporeans or PRs who want to gamble there. They also have put in place a thing that you can sigh and you won't be able to enter the casino. But the government still is afraid. This could cause some people to gamble more. Interestingly, though, there has been a rise in calls for the Problem Gambling centre and more submissions for people to ban themselves. More loansharks have been caught too. Interesting, really. One would think more people would start to gamble but the number of Singaporeans there isn't really high. Amazing.
