Reading this article Syndicate offers 'live' betting through the Internet gives me the eerie feeling that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Malaysia already has numerous gambling opportunites in the form of our own casino, the Horse Races, and of course the ubiquitous "Numbers Forcast" companies and their normal and special Draws. I almost forgot, we also have numerous slot machines in those "clubs" conveniently located in all parts of the country, who appear to be untouchables. Likewise the rampant illegal betting on football and Four digit Games. We do not need more than these to bankrupt our citizens. A statement in your news report made me curious, " It remains unknown how the syndicate is able to provide such clear video conferencing as it would require a big bandwidth..."
Are we taking effective actions to curb this gambling menace, or are we, to quote an erstwhile famous politician, "closing one eye" to this new internet 'business' in town? It takes very little intelligence to realise that, the next step that will be taken by these "operators" is to provide exactly the same 'mini casinos' right in the comfort of our homes. What can we do about this.?
