More gaming centres
2 November 2010 07:10 am - 9 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
The UNP charged today that the government, in a desperate bid to increase its tax revenue, had introduced new legislation to set up gaming centres wherever possible. UNP General Secretary Tissa Attanayake told a news conference today that the government had reintroduced the Gaming (Special Provisions) Bill in Parliament to be passed next week.
He added that the proposed Bill would give powers to the subject minister to give permission to anyone to open gaming and betting centres in the areas determined by him. (KB)

Gaming? Hunting for Undesirable is the current name of the game.

Gaming does no good to common people; It only put more financial burdens on house wives. The end result will be more house maids for Arab countries. This is a crime!.

Tissa has below average intelligence when it comes to economic development, but an okay guy.

Talking about spiritual standards and moral standards in Sri Lanka. Ex. Ban of Alcohol & Tobacco advertisement. But from other hand promoting gaming centres. This is how they will deceive people.

Please do not encourage gaming and gambling, because it will destroy our nation. It will do much harm than the tax earned from it.
