SINGAPORE – Mr Jeremy Tan, the independent candidate for Mountbatten SMC, has hit back at his rival’s comment that equated Bitcoin investments to gambling, which PAP does not believe in.
“What is gambling? Firstly, there’s a Toto shop beside FairPrice,” said Mr Tan on May 1, challenging PAP Mountbatten candidate Gho Sze Kee to close down that branch.
On April 30 , Ms Gho had questioned some of Mr Tan’s policies, such as getting the Government to invest in Bitcoin – which is not backed by any physical asset or government body.
“This is what I call gambling... The PAP does not believe in gambling,” she said at her rally.
Speaking at his first rally at the Home of Athletics sports track in Stadium Boulevard on May 1, Mr Tan said: “Gambling is when you do not study enough of the risks and want to make a big move.”

we are the gamblers lah❗ Those who bet are the ordinary people and foreign workers, hoping for small windfall. The rich and elite no need to gamble with their massive income. The poor people dream and hope also want to take away❗ Want them to collect cardboards and pushing carts along the road as" exercise " while the rich guys play golf ❓

If the PAP had allowed its MPs to vote as they wished like the WP did on the repeal of Section 377A, the law might not have been struck down or the current definition of marriage would have been at risk, she pointed out.
