Miscellaneous 2

I checked up the history of my constituency - Macpherson. I didn't realize that so many parties had contested here before - SDA, DPP, SDP, NSP, UPF, WP. They lost and disappeared. No party stayed on for a second attempt. Two of the contestants were Chee Soon Juan and Sin Kek Tong. There were also walkovers when it was in a GRC.


I think it is better to have admission by tickets rather than free admission if you are holding a Cantonese opera show in a community club. Many people have the perception that free shows are of a lower standard, mainly performed by new pupils. Some will decide at the last minute whether to go or not. Then they are probably too lazy to go.

If you have admission by tickets (free or at a nominal price), people will try to get the tickets or the performers will give some tickets to friends to invite them to come. People who have tickets will go because they have paid for the tickets or they feel obliged to support their friends who have invited them.
