China’s Singapore embassy warns citizens against gambling overseas
China’s Embassy in Singapore warned Chinese visitors and residents against gambling, ahead of the Chinese New Year holiday period in February 2026. The embassy said a Chinese citizen had died by suicide after gambling at Marina Bay Sands and that it was assisting the family; the report said no local media or police account of the incident had appeared.
The warning may affect casinos serving Chinese visitors and operators’ assessment of cross-border gambling risks.
