After waiting for such a long time, Singapore's first casino finally opened. I still remember when I first arrived in Singapore, I sat in the bus and passed the Merlion Park, a grand but unfinished mansion impressed me. Today, it opened to the public, like what Genting Group chairman Lim Kok Thay said, it is not only a commercial casino, but a milestone for Singapore. Opening the history book, we can see Asia played a significant role of leading the world in recovering from the worst global recession since the 1930s. This casino has the same historical duties. I believe this casino can bring more tourists to Singapore, Singapore is walking on the road of redeeming itself.

回复删除The opening of casino in Singapore is a hot news these days. Because what casino may bring to Singapore remains unknown. I have no doubt that the casino can attract a lot of tourists from all over the world, and I can also see the growing of the econonics in Asia. But what do you mean by saying "Singapore is walking on the road of redeeming itself"? There is one thing which all of us can not ignore that casino may also bring bad effect to the local Singaporeans.The Singapore society is like a sea without any great waves. What will happen when casinos, which just like the waves in the sea, may influence the society and each citizens behavior and attitude towards the government or their own life? It's really a problem.
