The casino being built in Singapore is supposed to be a money-maker and job creator. However, many people have spoken against it. Talk to a parent or adult and get their view on the casino. Listen to the NPR and YouTube offerings and choose one that substantiates your viewpoint and include a quote from it as well. Your blog entry has to be at least 200 words and you must either support the casino or condemn its construction and ultimately the hardships it will cause in Singapore.
I have asked my mother about the topic of building a casino in Singapore. She said, “Nowadays gambling is so widespread and easily accessible. Even you can find 4D or Toto now in Cold Storage! The government has somehow made too widespread that teenagers often get too exposed to gambling. Yes, the government says that they have organizations that help those who are addicted to gambling. But in reality, it is a very difficult job and the people still have the urge to gamble after getting treatment as seen in the video. The best thing is, don't gamble. Teach them from young.
"The casino is built to help boost up the economy and provide jobs for Singaporeans. However, in the process of building it, they have a lot of work to do which can be put in other places. Banning those addicts, making sure that the people do not cheat etc. takes a lot of time and effort. However, the government has neglected the underlying principles in the midst of planning long term. It attracts people to gambling and it destroys some of their lives. Broken families etc. If a lot of people get addicted to gambling, this would be a common sight in Singapore."

It was indded a fruitful session with my mother. She gave me insights that i have never thought of before. My conclusion: Just don't gamble, don't be greedy.
