Inilah perangai buruk pemimpin UMNO Baru.
Sebab itulah UMNO Baru menghalalkan judi, riba', zina,
arak, rasuah dan pelbagai yang diHARAMkan oleh Allah.

Denied: Bid to collect ex-CM’s debt by casinos 

KOTA KINABALU, July 5: A bid by two foreign casinos to
recover RM7.1 million in gambling debts from a former
Sabah Chief Minister was dismissed by the High Court
today. 
 
Justice Datuk Ian H.C. Chin dismissed an application
by The Ritz Hotel Casino Limited and RHC Limited to
register a judgment obtained in England against Datuk
Seri Osu Sukam on the grounds that it was against
public policy.

It was not mentioned when the judgment was obtained in
the English High Court.

In his ruling, Chin said two of the principles of the
Malaysian national philosophy or Rukunegara, Belief in
God and Good Social Behaviour, would mean that
gambling is injurious to public welfare.

"Anything that seeks to go against the Rukunegara must
surely be regarded as against public policy," he
stressed.

"It was mentioned that gambling is allowed under
licence in Malaysia but that is to prevent it from
being run by the underworld and it was not something
that is good.

"It is my view that any profit made from gambling (and
prostitution) can fairly be said to be profit from
vice. In this regard, I do not see how a casino can be
likened to a bank which the Judgement Creditors appear
to argue," he added.

"What is offensive and totally unfair is for the
casino to allow someone to gamble on credit in order
to make him lose not only his pants but the livelihood
of his wife and children as in this case."

He even suggested that a law should be enacted to
allow a gambler to sue a casino for having enticed him
to gamble beyond his means — if that is not already a
common law. Chin noted Malaysians must be protected
from being enticed to gamble on credit. The only way
to discourage such entrapment is to prevent such
foreign judgment founded on gambling credit from being
registered and from being enforceable in Malaysia."
