These KTVs provide different services/things to different categories of people.

My view is that they are not in the liquor/alcohol business.
Not even in the entertainment business. I think they are in the business of selling "attention" to the people who need it. It is a stroking of egos.

The big fishes who throw money may do so for a variety of reasons. We can only guess why. (have seen $100,000 banners/flowers showered on an ordinary looking girl who cannot sing to save her life, in one evening)

Sometimes quite pity these HFJ gers. They have quota to meet every month. So they have to solicit a group of supporters to ensure their livelihood with the joint. Also, no sick leaves no urgent leaves, worse than taxi drivers....

Was informed by staff/operator at 3 different HFJs that new KTV or HFJ will be opening above Dynasty Classic at Peace Centre.

Some say two. One of them expected to be a HFJ. Since few industry players say, it may be true. May be expensive. Wait and see.

That general area already has many HFJs including those in Parklane, few along nearby Middle Road, those in hotel along Bencoolen Street and Cleopatra nearby in Prinsep Link. Competition heats up but they may be in different budget ranges. Will this area become a new cluster for night club, HFJ, KTV. One thing though, the operators don't have to deal with Orchard-Road-type super high rentals that in turn drive up prices for consumers.

Some useful information here about the KTVs, their location, etc...

And insights into the KTV operators' tactics to make patrons/consumers spend money.

Some (quite) ugly recriminations and personal spats (usually directly/indirectly about money spent at outings to these joints as a group). Don't understand why the penchant to quarrel in public and on permanent record for whole world to see.

A lot of fun reading
a. the hilarious posts by a forum member who thinks youth and looks are his weapons in winning over these hardened, smooth talking KTV ladies.
b. the other forum members' comments on his views.

One of the most comical parts is the part where she tells him to keep the flower/banner/sash receipts...and he may have mis-interpreted that she intends to refund him in full based on those receipts.

These KTVs provide different services/things to different categories of people.
