Is it fair for Singaporeans and PRs to pay a $100 levy at RWS?
What do YOU think?
Personally, I feel that the government had done the right thing, because this will discourage gamblers from going there, as the $100 levy is equivalent to the transport cost to the Genting Highlands casino. Also, this will help filter out us curious Singaporeans from exploring and "jamming up" the casino. The casino will earn more money from foreigners and not from us, which is good as it will boost our economy. Some Singaporeans who just want to have the thrill of gambling, but are actually not hardcore gamblers, would be discouraged by the levy and not get into the casino, which reduces the possibility of them getting addicted.
All in all, I think that the levy was a good move by the government.
That's all for now! Thanks for reading!

Hi I am Jia Jie. I agree with you.By doing this, the government can also ensure that the gamblers there have the money to gamble and are not short of it as $100 is not a small sum of money. However, many people still think that it is unreasonable to pay that amount of money just to enter the casino to gamble. I feel that they should try thinking in the shoes of the govenment. The government is just trying to stop addiction and not make the gamblers be in deeper debts and the poeple should appreciate it.
