Cempaka Culture and Tourism: Muslim Indonesia considers building its first casino on island near Singapore

“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

Muslim Indonesia considers building its first casino on island near Singapore

The Jakarta Post

JAKARTA (AP): Politicians want to build Indonesia's first casino on an island near wealthy Singapore - a potentially lucrative but highly sensitive venture in mostly Muslim Indonesia.

Gambling is prohibited in Islam. Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim country, with nearly 90 percent of its 235 million people being followers of the Islamic faith.

Other plans to build casinos in Indonesia have faltered due to vocal opposition from Islamic activists. It remains to be seen whether Bintan island's local government will be able to push theplan through.

"We are aware of the controversy," Bintan district's deputy chief Mastur Taher said Friday.

He estimated that the casino could raise the island's annual income tenfold to US$132 million. He said that only foreign tourists and non-Muslims would be allowed into the casino, which is envisaged to be part of a 2,000 hectare tourist development.

Bintan is already popular with tourists, most of whom make the hourlong ferry ride from Singapore.

Local lawmaker Timbul Sianturi said Bintan's government has submitted a draft bylaw to the district's legislature that would legalize gambling at the resort, bypassing national regulations thatban the activity in the country.

It was not clear when lawmakers would debate the issue.

Neighboring Malaysia, which is also mostly Muslim, allows casino gambling in a resort area that attracted 18.5 million people last year. The Genting Highlands also has a theme park and five hotels,and Malaysian Muslims are not allowed to enter its casinos.
