_Casino!
The government finally announced the result of the casino issue. What surprised us is that they approved 2 casino proposals! It's like many pple are already not happy with the gov for favouring the building of casino right at the start and yet the gov approved not 1 but 2 casino proposals. While I am not exactly approved of the setting up of casino, I felt that it's a reality that we must face. Look at Sentosa. I believe that most people will agree with me that it's not successful. But look at Genting Highland. When I went there last dec, the outdoor theme park is badly maintained but yet why so many tourists went there? It's mainly because of the casinos. I know there is at least 1 in each hotel there. For such integrated resort, it is able to attract alot of pple b'cause adults can gamble at the casinos while teenagers, children can have fun at the theme park (which what my family did at genting). Besides, the earning from casinos is rather high so it is able to cover up for other attractions that are not earning money. Looking at Sentosa, how many tourists are actually attracted by the so called "attractions" like wondergolf, fort siloso... So I think that with the integrated resorts built maybe we can attract more tourists esp Chinese gamblers(which fill the genting casinos, opps). These are some of my views and thoughts while I read the newspaper today. Feel free to comment.
