In recent times, the
Gambling Authorities has cracked down on Bandar Judi Paling and has banned her
from Singapore. She was found guilty of running a gambling establishment, which
is not permitted in Singapore. However, the only time she engaged in the said
activity was at one particular casino.
So why would she not be
allowed to go to gambling establishments? It is because they are classified as
gambling establishments in their own country, which is Malaysia. It has been
ruled that her establishment was illegal because she was licensed to do
business in the country, but when she went to Singapore, she went into business
for herself and did not have the license that she had in Malaysia.
The reason for the ban
was because she allowed her fellow gamblers to pay with credit cards and cash.
Even though the latter are fine methods of payment, it is still against the law
to use them at gambling establishments. At a gambling establishment, the person
who wins will be expected to pay with money or a bet.
Despite being part of
the Singapore government, the Gambling Authority has never taken any form of
action against Bandar Judi Paling. In fact, in April 2020, she made a statement
to the media that she will file a lawsuit against the Gambling Authority. As a
result, the Gambling Authority itself made the decision not to give the case a
try.
This is surprising
because gambling is allowed in Singapore. There are many casinos in Singapore,
but the government regulates them in order to ensure that there is not a single
company that engages in gambling and other illegal activities within the
casinos. Not to mention that Singapore is a tourist country and it is important
that there are regulated gambling establishments that can be visited by
tourists who want to experience Singapore's casinos. However, it is also
important that Bandar Judi Paling is given the opportunity to prove that she
did not violate the law. The courts will determine whether the Gambling
Authority's decision was right or wrong. If it were to be determined that her
establishment was illegal, then the Gambling Authority will be forced to take
action against it.
There is no doubt that
this is a very difficult case, because it could determine the overall outcome
of the entire gambling business in Singapore. If Bandar Judi Paling is found
guilty, then the Gambling Authority may choose to penalize the establishment
financially, by way of fines and monetary penalties.
Julius Vandersteen has
already called on the Gambling Authority to "come out of hiding". On
the other hand, if the gambling establishment is allowed to continue business,
the Gambling Authority will have to consider it for shutting down the
establishment, if the government finds that the gambling establishment
continues to operate illegally. The Gambling Authority must come out of hiding
now so that Bandar Judi Paling is able to prove her innocence.
