Gambling in Singapore can only be illegal or regulated by the government.However, the consequences of gambling is the same. Gamblers lose wealth, interest in the world and most importantly, their loved ones! Legaling it wiil only encourage more people to gamble. If they cannot gamble at legalised places, they would resort to gambling at illegal places, etc. For example illegal bookies. Therefore, I feel that it is better to discourage gambling totally by making it illegal.

Agreed, quite true.However I do think certain measures must be taken to protect causual gamblers from becoming addicts (for example capping betting sum etc)
