webfact Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 BANGKOK (NNT) - During a recent session of the House of Representatives, the special commission on the study of creating integrated entertainment complexes to address illegal gambling and stimulate the economy recommended that the government should collaborate with the private sector. It stressed the importance of public involvement and the legalization of specific gambling forms, such as Thai boxing. The study concluded that these complexes could lower unemployment rates and curb illegal gambling, though they might also lead to potential negative effects like addiction and crime, possibly clashing with religious morals. The debate in the House of Representatives saw divided opinions. Supporters believed it would curb illegal activities and boost the economy, while critics doubted its effectiveness in addressing illegal gambling. The vote in the parliament was contentious but ultimately concluded with unanimous approval, tallying 253 votes in favor. The report will now be sent to the government for further evaluation. by Naark Rojanasuvan Source: NNT 2024-03-30 - Discover how Cigna Insurance can protect you with a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment.
