News entries ( third week)

Pc show climbs to new heights
News summary:
The four day Pc show pulled in a record 1.13 million visitor. This was higher than last year, before the economy began its plunge and Pc show organiser Lines Exposition and management services project manager Gillian Loh said that she's confident that they can topped last year's figure($51.7 million). A lot of people make their purchases in the last few hours as they believe vendors would go out to secure sales. The belief that the worst was over stirred consumers out of their spending stupor and into the fair, spread out over multiple floors of the suntec convention centre.
Opinions:
I think that the reason for the crowd was most probably because of the bargins they can get. At the Pc show, they can compare prices and bargin, especially at the last few hours of the show. Indeed, the Pc show was useful to those who need computers, printers etc. and the prices are usually cheaper. However, such show could also caused problems like traffic jams and overcrowding. News had reported due to Pc show, there was a heavy traffic outside suntec but exibitors said that it's normal when there are such Pc shows and they are confident that there would be more people coming for the show after the first day. Overall, I think that such Pc shows are useful as people can buy stuffs cheaper and save more during this period of time.
