Casino in Sarawak is okay as state is for all, Karim tells PAS FMTNews
Abdul Rahman Karim asked why Sarawak PAS only opposed the casino when there were several lottery outlets in the state.
Sarawak tourism, creative industry and performing arts minister Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said some dissenters from Miri were opposed to the setting up of a casino on the grounds that gambling is “haram” in Islam. He was responding to Sarawak PAS chief Jofri Jaraiee who said that opening a casino in the state would do more harm than good as it would lead to gambling addiction, which ruins society and families.
Karim also questioned why Sarawak PAS only opposed the casino project when there were lottery outlets such as Magnum and Toto operating all over the state.
