Dicey

The Casino has been given the green light.
Why am I not surprised?

My dad was asking, "what's the point of all that discussion? They've decided on what to do already. It was just an utter waste of time"*

People fail to realise that the government has done something remarkably amazing, giving the people more time to digest the fact that they'll be having a casino in their backyard.

Another thing is that they shifted the period for "discussions"** to before the decision is made. So that the people feel as though they were involved in the decision making process. Were they?
You decide.

It doesn't matter to me that there is now a casino in Singapore, using methods learned from EE2012, I deduce that the odds of winning is so bad, it's like buying Enrons stock. You win only if you're fast enough to get out before you start losing everything or by not buying in the first place.


*Note: my dad said this in hokkien, while colorful eludes my ability to romanize it. So I translated it to represent the feelings and thought behind that statement as accurately as possible.
**formerly know as complaining
