    "content": " Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to the issue on the Floor about betting. You have heard from those who have contributed before me on the seriousness of the problem we are facing as a country. Our young people seem to have found a different way of living. They think it is an easier way of making quick money. This culture or direction we have taken as a society has affected our people. The Muslim society considers betting to be haram. It is not advisable for our young people to engage in it. Therefore, if I were to bring something of this nature to the House, I would go to the extreme that we should declare betting an illegal activity in this country. I support my brother who has brought the Motion in the House because betting borders addiction just like drugs. Therefore, as a House, we must take stern action in ensuring that our young people do not go that direction. Hon. Temporary Speaker, with those reasons, I beg to support the Motion. Thank you."
