It was all because of this guy call Kenneth Tan ~ MD of GVM
Despite the board's decision not to raise price, this guy went ahead to do so.

One down, 3 more to go? -
But going against the BOD is not the best way
but the BOD might be appeace with better compensation
but if the increase drive sales down and cause the BOD to lose money
the MD head will roll...
Company goverenance is not as clear cut but someone must do the checks or MDs will want to always benefit and keep raising the prices or do accounting fraud all the time to line their pockets. I wonder if this guy did his market analysis carefully before he made that decision cause there is always a ripple effect and that drives price sensitive customers away. Increasing the price, but the cinemas remain just as they had been: no better shows nowadays, small leg space, no better service or sound systems, lousy seating for the same price, lousy customers, no HP jamming, etc. Seriously, I still don't see why I should pay more for the same service. He might make cinema become a little less accessible to certain segments of the market where actually they had all segments. Its just as the MD realised that SG are very very easy to cream and would pay up after all the complains (we just don't stand united or take some united action other than write some letters). Just as the interviews on TV where people would very unhappily agree to any price hikes so as to "look" agreeable all the time.
I am practical. To me its just become more attractive to watch VCD, engage in piracy than ever. -

He cannot make any decisions.. And film making is really dependent on the film maker / director / scriptwirters / actor,actresses

perhaps it might drive more people towards sports or punting or what-so-ever..
These are not direct substitudes but still without going to to cinema, its not the end of the world. Sg people can always wait for some sponsor to show on TV ... I am waiting to watch Beautiful Mind on TV.... -
