‘Unfair to ban all’

As part of efforts to tackle gambling centres, the authorities had suggested that the renewal and issuance of licences for family entertainment centres would end next year.

THE OPERATORS of genuine family entertainment centres (FEC) are decrying the police’s sweeping suggestion to reject all of their licences next year.

Those interviewed said it is the police’s idea to cease issuance and renewal of licences for the centres and disagree that the move is the best way to combat illegal gambling.
