Malaysia's way of curbing illegal sports betting is to legalize it. They believe that by legalizing sports betting, the illegal betting activities can be curbed.
Despite lots of people engaging in the betting, no one will deny that betting is bad. But, strange, the government is like telling you, if you want to do bad thing, do it the legal way. It's okay to do bad things, but make sure you do it legally.
If legalization of illegal activities can curb the illegal activities, are we going to:
- Legalize prostitution?
- Legalize drug abuse?
- Legalize abortion?
A big big no ....
