I went up to Genting Highland today. Wanted to have some chill and fun. Then i decided to pay the casino a little visit, just to see what and how a casino is like.
Instead of being amazed at the luxurious surroundings (first time being in a casino), i was shocked to see tens of thousands of people indulging themselves in an addiction that will cost not only their money, but their families and also their lives!
Thousands upon thousands of people were gambling like never before. I was deeply troubled to see that they didn't even know what gambling would bring. Of course you can argue it's an addiction, they can't help it. But they would have at least been exposed to some sort of knowledge that gambling kills! As a chinese saying that goes : "10 games 9 losses".
I was walking around from table to table to see the people there. It was so crowded and packed! I really wanted to stand on a gambling table and shout: "Gambling is not good!!". But i chicken out.
I just couldn't feel at ease. These people were putting their rice bowls at stake. They were putting themselves and their families in danger. It's going to be worse if their addictions deepen.
I came out of the casino feeling sad and disappointed. I vowed to God that i would never ever open a casino business, eventhough this business is very, very profitable.
