I guess it's difficult to have an opinion these days in Macau. Apparently, having an opinion, and going against the majority is wrong according to the so-called "King of Gambling", Stanley Ho.
This stems from the recent farcical "election" for Macau's new Chief Executive. Fernando Chui received 282 out of 300 votes. He got a majority of the votes mainly because he was the only candidate. It's kind of like being a member of your own fan club. Four of the votes were not counted for unknown reasons, and fourteen votes were left blank. This led the old gambling hero of Macau to spew some nonsense, saying that those fourteen voters "made a big mistake", "aren't at peace", and "won't be able to sleep well". With Ho's alleged links to organized crime, one might even perceive that as a threat.
Chui still "won". I don't understand what Ho is bitching about. Why can't he just stick to casinos and restaurants.
