According to federal official Jirayu Houngsub, some dark businesses are attempting to do whatever it takes to undermine the government’s bill that would allow for the legalization of gambling and including them in fresh pleasure structures.

” Now we have to remain united to fight these dark organizations,” Mr. Jirayu said on Thursday,” and security officials have discovered are trying every means possible to stop the bill.”

” They frantically want their’ dark’ companies to proceed. ]And if they succeed in this endeavor ] Thai culture may be left in the same vicious group”, he said.

He even brought up the issue of opposition parties that have separate policies that aim to legalize underwater companies in order to better control them and generate more revenue, but who also vehemently oppose the administration’s plan to legalize casinos.

He urged them to evaluate their policies in light of their shared efforts to combat fraud with the government.

If left beneath, these companies lead to other problems, such as money laundering and individual smuggling, he said.

Mr. Jirayu urged these opposition events to rather work with the government to push for the government to pass this bill as soon as possible.

According to him, the leisure complex act contains rules intended to minimize any negative effects on society from legalizing casinos.

He said that it places an age and income restriction on the people who will be able to gamble at casinos, as well as a requirement that only people aged 20 and above who have a certain amount of taxable earnings can provide.

The type of leisure complex the state is aiming for will not only deal with lawful games but also other world-class income-generating institutions, including water parks, accommodations, venues and concert rooms, he said.

Legalizing illegal companies has proven to be a more efficient way to control them and protect world from their detrimental effects, he said, drawing lessons from the experiences of other Asian and other nations.
