I read in the Times of Malta a few days ago that a group of “sharp players’’ will play poker in aid of the Community Chest Fund.

I must admit I was quite surprised. This is plain gambling. We have enough families suffering because of this and doing it for a good cause does not change anything. This is sending the wrong message and I’m sure the President, who set up so many committees to look after the welfare of people with various addictions, is unaware of this adverse message.
