Please feel free to type in your honest comments. Since we did not have much time to 'debate' on that day, here is a great chance to make your views being heard..

Question : As an Education Officer, what is your take on gambling being legalised in Singapore with the IR in operation?

Hope to hear your valuable comments..

Happy blogging..
