I condemn the construction of the casino in Singapore. I believe that having a casino, or in any way make gambling more convenient for the people is not good. After discussing with my mother, we have came up with this comclusion that Singapore should not build a casino, because gambling is bad, as many people do not or have little self discipline and get themselves sunk in gambling and become compulsive gamblers who gamble and lose most, if not all of their money and have huge debts.
Also, the existence of compulsive gamblers would result in family problems, the gamblers' families breaking up, and divorces. All that would result in some form of social disorder. The gamblers would spend a lot of time in casinos, getting themselves fired and that would be bad for the country's economy, leading to more casinos being built to gain revenue. That would lead to more compulsive gamblers, making this a vicious cycle.
Also, Jonny W., a compulsive gambler, says he lost almost everything to a gambling addiction — his wife, his money, and the life he once knew. He started to cross the line when he starts winning when he only wants to increase his income. Winning, not losing, is the first part that makes a gambler become a compulsive gambler.
Therefore I comdemn the construction og Singapore's casino.
