So the competition among Casino starts. Only Jo Sim and James Paker missing.
It is sad that JKH ventured to such investments a long term Blue Chip in Sri Lanka with highly diversified portfolio in ethical business.
We went on this road once to boost inflow of Black Money but reality was that casino business did not attract FDI or FC as money transfers happened abroad at that time !! (before internet), and finally all were raided due to flourishing illegal acts including Mafia Style operationsl
We used Emergency Regulations under Public Security Act to raid Casinos and close them !! in 90s
with Digital transfers with crypto there will not be any economic benefit to SL other than boost to underworld and other vices( drugs, trafficking,moneylauder .....)
It is clear some people with vested interest giving wrong advice to AKD and cabinet who are ignorant. We are going full circle.
we are a nation that does not learn from past lessons ...
