The Macau Chief Executive Edmund Ho claimed that the government would suspend the development of gambling industry.

    I can´t see it. I went to Macau recently and the place has gone crazy. It used to be a place to go and relax from hong Kong, but now it´s a building site. The Chinese government must be making a fortune in gambling taxes.
