    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I stand here as a sportsperson. The nation and the Members of Parliament need to listen to this. What the betting industry has done to the sports industry in this country is more than any other industry has ever done. I want the Leader of the Majority Party to listen. I know he is very passionate about betting because of his religion. The problem of betting cannot be solved by killing an industry. It will only be solved by an injection of morality into our kids in our churches and mosques. That is why I said we cannot regulate the industry by imposing taxes but we can regulate it by talking to the stakeholders who are the betting companies. We should sit together and come up with a very good regulation that will end those problems and suspicions that we have for the betting industry. I oppose the idea of imposing more taxes on this industry. That is why I support the idea of deleting the 50 per cent tax rate, go back to how it was and come up with good proposals."
