MIRI, April 20 ― The proposed opening of casinos in Sarawak should be opposed as it would do more harm than good to the people, said Parti Islam Se-Malaysia Sarawak commissioner Jofri Jaraiee.
Proponents of the casino idea have argued about the economic benefits, in that the government imposes a casino tax, at 35 per cent, on gross gaming revenue. He opined that while certain parties believe that the construction of a casino in Sarawak will bring huge profit and thus contribute to the state’s economy, it will have a negative long-term effect that will be borne by the community in the future.
“This should also be emphasised and taken into account, for the well-being of the local community,” Radzali was quoted as having said during a press conference at PMM’s premises in Miri on Monday. “They visit the state to enjoy its natural beauty. Also, many religions forbid gambling due to its negative impact such as breaking up families, which would eventually lead to many other social ills in society.”
