Better buying a car which has run a few km already: the price is lower and the engine has been run in, now ready to express its full power.
Its a different culture for people from different part of the world buying things.

I used to work in the airport when i was much younger and i learned that a lot of European customers who transit Singapore airport would PREFER to buy "display set" products on the shelf when i show it to them. Their explanation were almost same as yours. They tell me, display set of a product shows that product WORKS FINE and they tell me they are sure the company i work for, SURELY wont put a FAULTY display set for me to demo it to them.

For some Asian customers, its almost like killing them when i tell them to buy a display set,they will say something like, "so many has touch the product before, its like buying a 2nd hand product",hehehe...i guess its a different ways of looking at things.

Perspective.

Not so sure about other ferry companies, but Horizon ferry may sometime add on extra trips when there is a demand. And especially so during weekends and public holidays.

CNY time,Christmas and New Year Day time, the number of trips to Batam and back almost doubled for horizon ferry,hehehe...

Must be a Chinese boss, if can pick up all S$2, S$5 and S$10 notes, why only pick up S$10?
