Betting

The coming of the Chinese in Bintulu early history brought in more inter-cultural exchange. However, exchanges done at the market place has resulted in a "plural society" and the meaning of transaction in monetary contractual terms. The Chinese 'habit' of gambling put transaction in a speculative context. Later, in modern history when democratic elections were carried out in Bintulu, stiff election campaigns can be affected by a market for betting on the outcomes of election results. Are they any studies on the effects of betting on local elections in Bintulu?
