A minister said that whether Singapore will have a casino is a sign of its people's maturity. So if I disagree, he may say I am not mature enough. Does that mean I am really not mature?
But since really mature people don't really gamble (they have better things to do in life, no?), the minister probably imply that Singapore wants to take advantage of the less mature in Singapore and in the region (if not, then how to make money?).
Then imagine getting the majority (which should include the mature ones, by way of the minister's logic) to agree to take advantage of the less mature ones when they should be doing the exact opposite! What would that mean to mature me if I agree? What would that do to a country's soul if its mature people agree?
And if Singaporeans are mature enough to have a casino, wouldn't they be mature enough to manage the other more important aspects of their lives like their own wealth (and not be sucked up by high property prices & CPF) & sort out the liars from the not (without the tight control of the media & political arena)?
Perhaps people like me are not mature enough to figure out such contradictions. In that case, I am totally against anyone (mature or otherwise) agreeing to take advantage of people like me!
