Well not true to a certain extent.
Here my thought though,
Govt reason for building a casino
1.) Need to create jobs
2.) Need to control gambling as a vice since we cant totally
eliminate it
3.) For taxation purposes
4.) Need competition against other countries
5.) Need that economic boaster shot
well I totally agree with their view, however i would like to add
the following points of my own
1.) How long can the casino effect last? After the fever die down,
we back to square one. Suppose the positive effect last or i say 5
years, then maybe then we encounter any eoconomic problem, not
enough jobs etc etc
Then what next to legalise???
Brothel seem like a good choice due to the following reasons that
is exactly the same for casino
1.) Need to create jobs
Firstly, those existing whores will receive employment status if
their pimp is paying CPF for them, it also encouage budding
entrepreuer, guess you should know what i toking about, where lady
can contribute to this newly legalised industry on a part time
basis
2.) Need to control gambling as a vice since we cant totally
eliminate it
Well spoken by the govt, We all know going to prosititue is a vice
and that we cant totally eliminate it, so wun it be good if we
could directly control it? What irony.... How to control? firstly
we can get all whore and aspiring whore to be to apply for licence
from govt, at least then the govt will have on hand a current list
of such personnel involved in this trade, Got any problem also
eaiser to track. secondly, we could also get all the guy who
patronise such area to apply for licence as well. Another control
measure is together with the licence thing, the govt can impose
compusory medical review to further enhance the image and quality
associated with this industry, this will also have a positive
effect on the risk management aspect
3.) For taxation purposes
As spoken above, Govt can collect tax from all those licence stated
in reason Number 2. Once brothel is legalised, the iras can then
proceed to collect tax from such industry
4.) Need competition against other countries
Assuming now that brothel is legalised, our tourist industry is now
supported by ths valuable supporting industry, it should give a
boast to tourist pouring into singapore where we can earn the
precious direct foreign investment. Reason being since we will
implement those licensing and compusory medical review, tourist can
be more assure of the quality of service that our licensed whore
will be providing, that will encourage them to spend here
more.
5.) Need that economic boaster shot
Well enough say, when this newly industry is legalised, all other
supporting industry will recieve a boast. Example like medical,
tourist, hotel, retail, entertainment and even construction
(Reason, now that brothel is in shady area, when it is legalised,
those vendor will be more confident to invest to build up new
building to house such trade)
So having say all that, i must state a disclaimer.
All this represent only my personal thought and have nothing to do
with the govt, any flaming is allowed and encouraged as i want to
know the loophole for this argument and how true this can be.
