It is the time of the year when many kampongs , homes, and huts in Singapore light up with the sights and sounds of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mountains of mooncakes, beautifully designed paper lanterns, along with gigantic pomelos will be displayed to meet the insatiable demands of the people for all things Mid- Autumn. Opera troupes of all dialect groups are out in full force to entertain the masses. It is also the best time for one to get married. Most couples would do whatever it takes to catch the auspicious season that celebrates the fairy tale story of how the Cowherd finally met his Weaving Girl and reunites in love. Amid these celebrations, TK, Towkay of Cai Hong Hotel had a lot on his hands as well. His hotel was filled, and yet he reluctantly agreed to Geok, his feisty wife to host a wedding dinner at the hotel's grounds. And when the town’s tailor Yew Lin shows up at the neighbourhood Kopitiam bloodied and confused before collapsing into a coma, TK finds himself drawn into a mystery stranger and heart wrenching than any that he has ever been involved in before. … This book or any portion thereof may not be reproduced or used in any manner whatsoever without the written permission of the author.

Enterprise Clusters and Networks in Developing Countries analyses the functions and advantages of clusters and networks for small enterprises in developing countries. In the opening chapter the editors describe different types of clusters and networks and compare the diverse forms of external economies and co-operation effects derived from them. Taking a multidiscplinary approach, they point out it is trust that is the social basis for positive effects of clustering and networking, which are often sources of co-operation and technology diffusion for small enterprises in developing countries.
