COMMENT | Ban of 4D was a classic three-act play by Sanusi - superadmin - 11-17-2021 By James Chai COMMENT | Kedah MB Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor has a way of overexplaining himself. In a strange way, the decision to not renew gaming outlet licences – effectively banning them – became more than just that. There are three categories of Sanusi’s justifications: 1. Uneasy relationship with the minorities: “I am a Muslim who is prohibited from gambling. In the afterlife I will be asked, ‘What have you done about gambling?’ If I said I didn’t do anything, I will be whacked. While I have power, it’s better I use them.” 2. Trivialising the negative impact: “Many other companies affected by Covid-19 pandemic have ventured into new businesses at their premises, with a furniture shop being turned into an eatery, a barbershop turned into a beauty salon… there are many things [gaming outlets] can do [other than gaming].” Sanusi told gaming outlet operators to be creative to explore new business opportunities. - More -
