STOMPer DemandBetter finds it unfair that the casino levy is borne solely by Singaporeans and Permanent Residents (PRs), after learning that both casinos in Singapore had been fined for failing to enforce the levy on patrons.
According to an article in the Straits Times today, both Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa have been dealt penalties by the Casino Regulatory Authority amounting to $385,000. The fine was allowing for a total of 44 people to enter or remain on their premises beyond the 24 hour period.
The STOMPer shared:
"Just read an article about the fine that MBS received.
"Why the difference between Singapore Citizens or PRs regarding the levy and any of the foreign workers in Singapore?
"Foreign workers here have an equal likelihood of causing trouble, generating crime, etc. as the locals and PRs do.
"The levy should be placed on anyone without a 'Visitor Pass', which in itself is temporary. Singapore can also deport these people in the event that they get into trouble with the law.
"I don't like the double standard."

nowadays is 10 out of 10 empty all their contents inside and head for reservoir. You want to join them? Dun ask for it to be free, it does more harm than good to have gambling for career, why do you think THEIR place can operate with so many neon lights and so grand, getting bigger all the time? At whose cost?
