BANGKOK: The Fiscal Policy Office (FPO) of the Finance Ministry has released a 12-point statement defending a controversial bill that would allow entertainment complexes with casinos to operate in Thailand. The FPO claims the bill would benefit the country more than it would cause harm.
The statement follows growing opposition from various groups, including academics, religious leaders and political activists. These groups have raised concerns about the potential social impact of the bill, which is currently under review by the Council of State and has been submitted to the House for consideration.
