Did the gambling industry play a role in delaying the storm warning at the height of Typhoon Hato?

Macau authorities are now digging deeper into a recent report published in the South China Morning Post that ‘casino factor’ was the root cause behind the delays to the storm warnings.

ShanghaiDaily.com reported that Fernando Chui, chief executive of Macau, has formed a commission and special taskforce to review and handle Macau’s response system for major disasters.

A team of graft busters, on the other hand, was formed to probe the city’s weather bureau over its handling of Typhoon Hato. The report said that the probers will include the gaming industry in their investigation.
