In fact, MCA had done nothing wrong on this matter. It's actually the opposition that had done something wrong. The whole thing had been twisted beyond recognition. Well done, the opposition, on twisting the truth.
It all started with the opposition saying that BN or MCA supports gambling.
What BN and MCA was trying to introduce to the people was to legalize the sports betting in order to firstly stamping out all the illegal sports betting, and secondly allowing government to tax the activity.
It's amazing that the opposition in this case simply protecting the illegal sports betting by not supporting the government's noble effort.
This is very unfortunate for the country as the opposition had misused their influence and 'power' by 'supporting' the illegal activity.
Even more regrettable was that quite a lot of MCA leaders sang the same tune as the opposition of anti-gambling and not anti-illegal sports gambling.
This thing happened because they still had the grudges with them over the 28-March-2010 party re-election.
The openly-split stand on the matter had undoubtedly embarrassed the leadership thereby helping the opposition won the 'battle'.
This matter was then immediately, and also subsequently used by Chinese-based opposition party to capitalize on the discrediting of MCA, the 2nd largest component party of BN.
The opposition has to make sure that the Chinese remain opposing (or hate) the BN in order to continue their aim of overthrowing the BN government in the next general election. Therefore, any incidents or issues that can help in the preservation of the change movement (or discredit of BN) are to be manipulated and capitalized.
BN should not have last minute opted out of the legalization of sports betting as this is a clear sign of its weakness of flip-flopping its decision and policies that is seen as bad management, and handling too.
BN should learn the bloody lesson from this that in future it should carefully study any matter properly, and presenting a viable solution that is convincing and well thought of.
BN must work harder to regain the confidence of the public.
The recent incident should serve as an indication of people of their trust on the government.

You meant after legalized the Sports Betting, there won't be any more Bookies? Are you sure!!!???
We have licensed gaming, i.e. magnum, 1+3D, Toto.. how come there are still lots of people involving in illegal gaming? Please see with your eyes opened!
you're right, Frei, legalized the Sports Betting doesn't mean that we can get rid of the illegal bookies and the illegal betting; however, being illegal, the 'advantage' for them is no taxes paid to the government, no other costs of getting a proper license or permit, and operating in their own way without governmental regulations. They are more profitable than the legal one, of course. As on the reduction of illegal bookies, that can not be eliminated too if there's demand for their services from the punters. As far as the public is concerned, they have a choice in either betting with the illegal or the legal one. Which one would you prefer to bet with, legal or illegal?
