Question:
Mr Png Eng Huat: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs what is
the rationale behind imposing fines on Marina Bay Sands and issuing censures to Resorts World Singapore in
the recent enforcement actions for social safeguard breaches when both are repeat offenders.
Answer:
1. The Casino Regulatory Authority (CRA) is empowered under the Casino Control Act to impose disciplinary
actions on the casino operators for contravening the provisions of the Act or casino licence
conditions.
2. CRA considers various factors in determining the appropriate disciplinary actions to impose. These
include the circumstances of the breach, the culpability of the operators, and whether the operators had
taken suitable preventive measures.
3. In addition to imposing disciplinary actions, CRA also requires the operators to implement corrective
actions to prevent the recurrence of such breaches.
