Did authorities not know about shuttles?

Was there an inter-agencybreakdown?

Letter from M Lukshumayeh

I REFER to “Regulator puts immediate brake on IR shuttles” (Sept 11).

It is good that the relevant authorities acted on the free shuttle buses to the IRs with immediate directives. Despite there being some debate on whether these buses lured gamblers to the casino, it cannot be disputed that it would certainly entice some gamblers from the heartlands.

The shuttle bus services had been in operation for a while and surely, relevant approvals must have been sought from Government agencies by the transport operators and approvals duly given — but perhaps not with the involvement of the Casino Regulatory Authority (CRA).

This incident perhaps highlights the need for greater inter-Government agency engagement and interaction on certain matters, such as the approval for bus operations to and from the integrated resorts.

In this case, it appears that CRA was not aware of the shuttle bus operations. If this is so, it is perhaps through no fault of their own now that the shuttle bus operators and their employees find themselves in an awful bind.

Do more to curb ‘incentives’

Letter from Chua Hin Bee

FREE bus services between RWS and HDB heartland areas began operation a few months ago. However, it is astonishing to learn that instead of stepping in from day one, the authority only acted recently after receiving complaints from the public.

It is stated that the IR operators are not allowed to provide incentives in any form for Singaporeans to patronise the casinos.

What about other possible incentives such as a personal chauffeur service, discounted or even free dining and hotel accommodation, shopping vouchers and extra gambling chips?

Regular patrons may even receive VIP privileges for overseas casinos run by the same operator. Are such incentives permitted by the authority? If not, what measures will it take to ensure the IR operators abide by the rules?

Give us some notice

Letter from William Tay

THE abrupt cessation of shuttle services to both IRs on Friday seemed like overkill by the CRA. Was this a life-and-death situation warranting such a drastic action?

Many elderly and children visiting the IRs were left stranded when the shuttle was abruptly cancelled. At least 24 hours’ notice should have been given.

Bar gamblers without stopping service

Letter from Peter Lim

THE CRA should not stop the IR-heartland shuttles without considering other alternatives.

I would suggest that the free shuttles be resumed with the condition that passengers get an ink-stamp on their hands. Casino staff should be directed not to allow entry to visitors bearing the stamp.

This would address the concerns about the shuttle service encouraging gambling, while still making available the convenience of this shuttle service to those who just want to visit the IR without gambling.

Not sure, we spoken to a member name starry something.....  she brought 10 lots at 1.83......

everyone tell her to relax....when it drop till 1.75...

now 1.89..... people are buying, let be careful it may drop again.....
