KUCHING, May 17 — A Sarawak backbencher today called on the state government to consider all aspects carefully, including safeguards to protect locals against the perceived social ills of casino gambling, before making any decision for a casino licence for the Borneo Highlands Resort.
“The social costs of gambling can also be significant, resulting in increased crime rates and financial burdens on communities,” he said during the debate on the opening address of the Sarawak State Assembly by Governor Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud. He said regulations must include restrictions on age, advertisements and marketing and also measures to protect vulnerable individuals and communities.
He said in many countries, gambling is considered a legal and regulated activity and individuals have the freedom to decide whether or not to participate.
