It's 2009 1st quarter IT Fair!
Economic crisis? Recession? Nope, this is NOT THE CASE in this small island in Singapore!!
Let the news below surprise you!
"Police called in as Singaporeans overwhelm IT fair
More than 700,000 Singaporeans looking for recession-busting bargains swamped an electronics fair over the weekend, forcing organisers to call in the police to maintain order.
Officers were deployed at an underground link to the venue of the IT Show 2009 from a train station to "manage the crowd", a spokesman for the Singapore Police Force confirmed Monday.
Despite a sharp economic slowdown and growing unemployment, the four-day annual fair that ended Sunday logged a record 768,000 visitors and raked in 58.5 million dollars (38.2 million US) in sales, organisers said."
Okay, I shall confess that i'm one of the 768,000 that went in and also contributed $400 on a GPS and Jacky $1300 on HP Laptop ^O^ ..
Looks like everyone is playing their part in 'BOOSTING the economy'! ^O^
Great!!
