(Bangkok).- While the Finance Ministry initially proposed 10% space allocation, deputy minister suggested this ratio may be omitted from the bill.
The Council of State said on Tuesday that it has yet to reach a conclusion on how much space will be allocated for casinos in each entertainment complex, rejecting a claim made by the deputy finance minister.
The Finance Ministry, which had proposed the Entertainment Complex Business Bill to the Cabinet earlier this month, has been saying that only 10% of the complex will be allocated to the casino.
However, Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat said on Monday that the 10% ratio may not be included in the bill’s details after all, citing that a fixed ratio could make the law unsuitable for future economic situations.
Julapun’s statement immediately raised concerns among the public that the new law could worsen gambling addiction and jeopardise public morality.
Addressing the issue on Tuesday, the council’s secretary-general Pakorn Nilpraphan said the legislative authority has been deliberating on the draft since it was approved in principle by the Cabinet on January 13.
The council has held four meetings with representatives of the Finance and Interior ministries as well as relevant agencies, but no details regarding the casino have been finalised as yet, he said.
Meanwhile, Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira refused to comment on Julapun’s statement on Tuesday, only saying that all details of the bill are being considered by the Council of State.
