190 problem gamblers pa

23rd January, 2008

In a year’s time, from September 2006 until September 2007, there has been 190 problem gamblers reported in special centres that were set up to help people with this particular problem.

One third of these people are said to have completed the program excellently and the results have been very successful. This only means that the reminder could have not been returned to the centres or the patients did not require any more help.

This trivia was produced by the Community Development, Youth and Sports Minister, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan during another parliament session the Tuesday gone.
