Why are you building a world-class entertainment venue for us! We demand to be second-grade citizens!

Just yesterday there was an anouncement from parliament that there are plans to create an up-market resort at the miniscule southern islands off Sentosa. Plans which do not exclude the possibility of a casino.

Skip to the sterile, non-Restricted(Artistic)-movie-watching, non-explicit-advertisement-seeing, non-oral-sex-practising heartlander:

'Yeah I think there might be some problems because the economic situation nowadays is very bad. And... and there are people who are bankrupt who might try their luck at the casino if it is so accessible.'

Skip to idiotic primate who calls itself a minister:

'If a casino is built, don't worry because we are not going to market it to Singaporeans. There will be hurdles... hurdles to prevent locals from easily getting into the casino. For those without money, don't even think about getting in. They should just stick to their 4D and TOTO.'

Apparently in Singapore, when you want to disciminate against a sizeable part of your own population, there is no need to be subtle. Some of them will even ask for it.

I call it elitism. They call it tourism.
