The Singapore government recently announced the development of two integrated resorts with casinos at Marina Bay and Sentosa. We carried out a survey with 100 people representing a cross section of Singapore.
1. The two resorts will attract more tourists to Singapore and boost our tourism industry. Agree: 92%
2. The two resorts will turn Singapore into a vibrant hub in Asia, ahead of its regional competitors. Agree: 79%
3. I support the development of two resorts, as they serve different needs and will complement each other. Agree: 70%
4. I have confidence in the government to minimise potential social harms brought about by the casinos. Agree: 68%
5. The economic advantages brought by the casino resorts will outweigh the social harms. Agree: 68%
6. Social harms brought by the casinos will be minimal, as they constitute only a minor part of the resorts. Agree: 49%
7. The high entrance fee and ban on credit will protect Singaporeans against the ills of casino gambling. Agree: 39%
8. Are you in favour for casino development in Singapore? Yes: 71%
Period of Survey: 21 - 27 Apr 2005
