Secretary-General of the Stop Gambling Campaign Foundation insists that casinos are not “secret gambling” as the Prime Minister said, but because officials are “ignorant”, raising the case of “gambling booths, stuffed dolls all over the mall”. Can we take care of this first? Before it became a “kid’s casino”
On April 2, reporters reported that from Mr. Settha Thavisin, Prime Minister, mentioned considering the study report on the opening of integrated entertainment venues. (entertainment complex) to solve the problem of illegal gambling, etc. of the House of Representatives At one point he said in an interview that He said it was time for us to take a look at the issue of the E-secret society. This matter already exists. But we must supervise it appropriately. The security department and the administrative department will have proper supervision.
Mr. Thanakorn Khomkrit, secretary-general of the Stop Gambling Campaign Foundation, said: “The reality is that it may not be a secret matter. But it is more of a matter of neglect than in the past by the security and administrative sides. Does not seriously supervise law enforcement For example, in the case of the doll locker, the Supreme Court’s order clearly ruled that it was gambling. and the Ministry of Interior issued a letter ordering that There is no policy to issue a license to play in the doll machine to any operator. But why are there so many doll cabinets all over the city? There was no detection. The issue is therefore not regarding having a secret society as the Prime Minister said, but regarding inefficient, lax and neglectful governance. One of the reasons for this is because there are benefits that obscure it.
“Therefore, before the government thinks of encouraging underground businesses to be brought above ground. Believing that they will be able to supervise Please show your skills and order the security department and the administrative department that you mentioned to inspect and take care of gambling machines in various department stores. Whether it is illegal or not To create confidence in the people that if there is a casino on the ground The officials will actually be able to supervise and control it.”
“I would like to inform the Prime Minister that at present there are various gambling booths. There are many types that are not just doll cabinets. and located in areas accessible to children, such as amusement parks and playgrounds In front of the movie theater In front of the restaurant Next to the escalator Including the front entrance and exit of the department store. and seduce children, youth, and adults alike with light, color, sound, and all sorts of fun. With prizes as an incentive, some department stores have hundreds of kiosks of all kinds at one point. It almost looks like a children’s casino. And now it’s the big semester break. There will be more children and families escaping the heat to seek coolness in shopping malls. Therefore, I would like the Prime Minister to order that it be taken care of. Because if this matter alone cannot be corrected, then how can the people believe that if there is a casino? Including an SML size land casino according to the model proposed by politicians. Then it will not cause any other problems,” Mr. Thanakorn said.
