By legalising and monitoring the sector (providing health check on the prostitutes etc) wouldnt the govt have made it safer for the society and the night workers? Vices will always be around.
Yeah, allowing some form of controlled gambling curbs the underground activity. Note that there are already legal gaming activities controlled by the government, so opening a casino is more like opening the floodgates. And certainly we Singaporeans have had enough of bending over backwards in making ourselves 2nd class in our own country (spelled FT). Don't wish to see the days more human beings becoming supermans (read: leaping off high buildings) because of the financial ruin caused by gambling.
