Tycoons, trillionaires, instead of using their temporal material gains to make society better, more ethical, and safer seems to continue to fuel the destruction of it. Because sports betting with the advent of The World Cup will bring in billions to the licensee, by all means necessary will the government grant permission.
Instead of helping fund the creation of safe schools, safe neighbourhood, and safe streets so that society can rejuvenate from a fast deteriorating condition planned by this regime, we are seeing greed take control and the filthy rich licensed to ensure the next generation left with catastrophe as legacy.
Already illegal gambling is rampant and the culture of gambling, drawn from human nature itself, continues to turn urban centers into gangster enclaves of triads, gangs, and secrets societies whose major activities are gambling and hunting down those who owe money they lost through gambling. There we have the "AhLong" culture that the police force, funded by the taxpayers cannot control. Indeed by legalizing sports betting, we will be sending a strong message to the next generation -- it's fine to gamble since the adults do it. It's fine to use your lunch money to bet and if you lose in this highly addictive enterprise, there are things to steal and sell.
Why not legalize prostitution -- another billion Ringgit industry? And next, let's sell guns so that we'll have the rights to bear arms to protect us against those little gamblers who will grow up to become tycoons and triad members and sleazy politicians patroned by a fine system of Constitutional Monarchy whose members gambled too?
