The bill on the entertainment complex in Thailand confirmed as dead in the water
After months of deliberations and tensions, the bill for entertainment entertainment in Thailand was closed. This would have allowed the casinos to be integrated into the stations, in the same way as the operation of Macao and what is currently presented in parts of Japan. The legislators considered that the bill would introduce high costs, damage and national security risks.
This occurs while Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the previous Prime Minister who supported the idea, was elected after a scandal surrounding a disclosed phone call. The appeal between her and Hun Sen, the Cambodian chief, would have been too respectful, because Cambodia and Thailand are now involved in a “border crisis” which saw several soldiers killed and hundreds of thousands of displaced citizens.
In May, Shinawatra criticized the criticisms of the Bill casino, saying:
“The investment does not come from money from the state or people; It is a private and foreign capital.
“This means more income thanks to taxation, in particular from the regulated game.
“It is a question of playing responsible, there will be strict rules, checks of history and safety standards to make sure that it is not a place where anyone can walk to dream of winning millions and simply leaving with it. This is not how it works. ”
Some parties of the general public did not agree and had started to protest against the bill.
The new Prime Minister of Thailand is anti-active
Since her vote, the new Prime Minister, Anutin Charnvirakul, an ardent opponent of the game, has also pushed the bill. A committee trained to investigate the effects of casinos introduced in the region revealed that it would almost certainly increase money laundering and would not provide the expected economic boom.
This despite the best bank in the country, Maybank, predicting that casinos could have brought in more than $ 8 billion a year, thanks to the millions that travel to the region. Companies like MGM also provided that the bill will be adopted, with several Casino giants that turn to Thailand as their next big investment. Now, with the died in the water, she is back to the drawing board.
