The Marina Bay Sands Hotel and Casino in Singapore is visual from the Singapore CBD in May 2016.
The Chinese Embassy in Singapore on Monday (18/3/2024) appealed to Chinese citizens not to play in Singapore. Singapore has a charming casino complex at Marina Bay Sands or MBS, which is very popular with foreigners. There is a wonderful casino, namely Genting Singapore.
There are express needs for Singaporean citizens to stop at the casino. The Chinese embassy “discreetly” reminds its citizens in Singapore to be aware of the law and stay away from gambling activities. For Chinese citizens, gambling is prohibited under the criminal law of the People’s Republic of China.
“Although there are legal casinos operating outside of China, engaging in (overseas) gambling activities through Chinese citizens violates the law. If there are any issues related to the game, the embassy and consulate of the People’s Republic of China probably won’t. will be able to provide consular assistance to the citizens involved,” according to a statement from the Chinese embassy in Singapore.
Lately, the Chinese government is intensifying its crackdown on cross-border gambling practices and online gambling. It has sent appeals to several countries as part of Beijing’s efforts to crack down on such illegal practices and threats against Chinese citizens abroad.
“Cross-border gambling can also carry risks, such as fraud, laundering, kidnapping, detention, human trafficking and smuggling,” the Chinese embassy in Singapore said.
A similar warning was issued through the Chinese embassy in South Korea and Sri Lanka.
