SINGAPORE : Some 5,000 people made an early start for their Lunar New Year shopping - at the three-day Electronics and Furniture Fair now on at Suntec City Mall.
One woman was in line since 3pm on Thursday, sleeping on the floor and drinking only water.
She was one of 2,000 people vying for a coupon which entitled them to purchase one of 10 appliances for S$29.
The first 1,000 also received free goodie bags.
Organisers of the event said the response has been overwhelming.
Within half an hour of the fair's opening, all the goodie bags and coupons had been snapped up.
The most popular item bought with the coupons is a 22-inch television set worth S$299.
The coupon and goodie bag deals are on for each day of the fair.
