Since the Singapore Police Force issued a public advisory stating that mystery prize vending machines were a form of public lottery and as a result merchants could no longer operate these machines, netizen Tai Lo Chun queried the police if the vending machine dispensing mystery books is in violation of the same advisory. Mr Tai shared a photo of the said vending machine placed at The Arts House and it is obvious that users of the machines have no idea what kind of types of books would be dispensed.
We look forward to the Singapore Police Force's reply as it looks like a case of double standards.
"Hi, with the treatment of vending machines dispensing boxes with mystery contents as a form of lottery, how does the SPF view this vending machine at The Arts House?"
