Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister, Heng Swee Keat, recently praised the country’s integrated resorts and vowed to assist Japan’s casino sector. In a speech given at the Global Gaming Expo Asia, DPM Heng highlighted the success of Singapore’s integrated resorts, which have become a major tourist attraction and a key driver of economic growth.

The integrated resorts in Singapore, which first opened in 2010, are a combination of hotels, shopping malls, entertainment venues, and casinos. The resorts have been a major success, drawing millions of visitors each year and contributing billions of dollars to the Singapore economy. DPM Heng noted that the integrated resorts have created thousands of jobs and have helped to boost the country’s tourism industry.

In addition to praising Singapore’s integrated resorts, DPM Heng also expressed his support for Japan’s efforts to develop its own casino sector. He noted that Japan has the potential to become a major player in the global gaming industry, and he pledged to provide assistance to Japan as it works to develop its own casino sector.

DPM Heng’s remarks come at a time when Japan is considering legalizing casinos. The Japanese government is currently in the process of drafting legislation that would allow for the establishment of integrated resorts in the country. If passed, the legislation would open up the Japanese market to foreign investors and operators, and could potentially create thousands of new jobs and generate billions of dollars in revenue.

Overall, DPM Heng’s remarks demonstrate Singapore’s commitment to supporting the global gaming industry. By praising Singapore’s integrated resorts and vowing to assist Japan’s casino sector, DPM Heng has shown that Singapore is committed to helping other countries develop their own gaming industries. This commitment could help to create thousands of new jobs and generate billions of dollars in revenue for both Singapore and Japan.
