oh, heard so much abt the merger (not the one in the hist tb). let me bring in a little geography metaphor.

with greater influx of pple, human resource will expand. this leads to diversification, but there will not be much specialisation to speak of. i am not sure if the increase in facilities and funding will be proportionate to the sudden increase in 'population'. this leads more limitations than those faced in current situation.

since the only competitions will be com-based (do you have any book-shelving competitions?), most cca-points-orientated pple --no matter how strict interviews are, there bound to be a few infiltrating in-- will surge into these competitions. this creates a major problem of lack in quality as it is being replaced by quantity instead.

the clubs merging are pretty much known as "inactive clubs". while there is increase in numbers, there isn't much increase in the competitions available. so wldn't merger bring abt more inactivity?

ok, tt's just my thoughts. maybe there are some improvements and details tt i dun know of, so what i said is just based on myself, and may not be entirely true.

need to add the last para, else some teachers come and sue me then i die. haha.
