To all those who celebrate, and particularly those who bet on numbers...
One main complaint among number punters in Malaysia is that there are 3 companies offering 4-digit forecasting on the same day: Da Ma Cai, Magnum and Toto; there are 3 draws each week (Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday); with Special Draws on the first and last Tuesday of each month. For those traditional punters, unless they check what are on offer now, they would be amazed at the many new games, like Jackpot draw (basically, two sets of 4-D which must appear among the top 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize draw, or one of which must appear among the top 3, while the other among the Special draws. For the larger prize (at least 6-figure or even 7-figure sum), if either one only appear in top 3, Special or Consolation, the prize money is much less than normal 4-D. I could write a book on this if I were to do more research!
Anyway, in Malaysia, Muslims are forbidden to bet, and there are signs at all outlets informing about this. But still, die-hard ones can be seen waiting for the right moment to bet. They could also ask a non-Muslim to do so on their behalf.
There are people for or against gambling for different reasons. But with Genting being the sole legalised casino which provided much revenues for the government, there is an irony of sorts where this is concerned.
