Of Lotteries in Malaysia

Given the national religion is Islam and the fact that under its teachings the act of gambling (speculation bets in the hope of winning, more commonly money), the following can never take place in Malaysia.

Of the many gaming options (except Genting Highlands Casino Resort Royale), the Pan Malaysian Pools (Da Ma Cai) and Berjaya Sports Toto (Duo Duo) also offer lottery draws with prizes amounting to millions of Malaysian Ringgit - the difference is in the latter two which does not allow public screening of the draw taking place; or at least that is what the general public as in I and the rest of the Malaysian population know.

In other countries such as Canada, good ol' USA and even Hong Kong allow public airing of the draws in their respective states. As such there can be less afterthought to whether any rigging or delayed payout was actually done. At these gaming venues we can see Malaysians from all walks of life and culture coming together to partake in this periodic ritual of betting, all hoping that they will be the Lucky One (...or is it the Chosen One?)
