Great Singapore Sale kicks off
It is the first day of the Great Singapore Sale (GSS), the start of two months when shopholics and bargain hunters descend on the shopping belt.
And it is not just confined to people in Singapore. Tourists and visitors are expected to join the shopping frenzy.
The first day of GSS coincided with Vesak Day, a public holiday. The crowds at Orchard Road looked like the ones on any weekend.
When asked if they knew that Friday was the first day of the GSS, one shopper said: "Oh, I didn't know that. I don't really notice any difference. Just look like normal."
When asked if they were in town because of the Great Singapore Sale, one member of the public said: "No. I'm here to watch a movie."
While some were clueless that Friday was the first day of the GSS, others such as some tourists planned their trip to Singapore to coincide with the event as early as six months ago.
