Lawmaker Chan Chak Mo conceded yesterday that certain concepts and parameters of the new illegal gambling law under scrutiny remain ambiguous and lack a clear definition during a media briefing following a meeting of the Second Standing Committee of the Legislative Assembly (AL).
Although the bill passed the first reading with 29 votes in favor and a mere 3 abstentions (José Pereira Coutinho, Che Sai Wang, and Ron Lam), it appears to still be at an early stage of development, with subsequent versions likely to be presented to the AL Committee before the final vote in plenary.
