Response to Public Feedback on Proposed Amendments to the Casino Control (Amendment) Bill
16 August 2012 - The public feedback we received was generally in support of the Government’s proposed amendments to the Casino Control (Amendment) Bill. Most respondents provided feedback on social safeguards and gave suggestions to address problem gambling.
The four-week long public consultation exercise on the draft Casino Control (Amendment) Bill ended on 6 August 2012.
In total, we received close to 40 letters on the REACH Portal. Besides these, the Government also consolidated suggestions and views reported in the media and feedback sent directly to the various Government agencies. During the public consultation period, the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) convened four closed-door consultation sessions with stakeholders from various community, grassroots, religious and social service groups. Apart from these, the Government also held consultation sessions with the Integrated Resort (IR) operators.
