Of myths and statistics
I am beginning to take a keen interest into statistics, as they tell the real picture of the story. For example, in SIngapore you see night clubs springing up everywhere and when you go to Clarke Quay, you think the whole of SIngapore is in Clarke Quay. You will think Singapore has become a party town.
However It was reported in todays papers that only an estimated amount of 5% of Singapore's population club. That is about 250 000 people. Not much considering the number of night clubs springing up here and there. That may explain why they close down as fast....
Even Zouk, the institution have lamented: Profit margins are diminishing as people go to other places in the night before they go to Zouk, which makes it a secondary desination instead of the first. People will then spend less as they will go there maybe to chill out or wind down as they have spent thier money at the other clubs. Also the ones that support Zouk are the regulars. The younger generation has no loyalty. They hop from place to place. It is a wonder how Zouk has lasted 2 decades, thanks to my generation!
