earlier comnments[edit]

Oppose full merger. By all means, mention and refer to Pasar malam in the article Night market but don't merge. "Night market" is a very general overview of the subject and may be expanded to describe such markets all over the world. "Pasar malam" is a night market in a very specific area, south east Asia, and has its own characteristics. Just consider searching for the subject within the given categories: it would be odd to add south east Asia categories to the general article on night markets. --JohJak2 07:48, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Night market vs pasar malam[edit]

I removed this:

Pasar malam and night markets are not to be confused. Pasar malams mostly open on Saturdays (or other days, depends on the location) from 6pm to 11pm, around the housing areas, whereas night markets open every night. Most of the time, Pasar malams open directly at the roadside and would hinder traffic of the entire street from 6pm to 11pm. After 11pm the street is cleared and be reverted back to normal although pasar malams are usually held over a duration of a day to a week. Pasar malams are usually attended by families as a short outing.

I'm from Malaysia but have never heard such a distinction. From my experience both phrases are used interchangably to refer to the same thing i.e. the pasar malam description Nil Einne 00:06, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Addenum from someone in Singapore[edit]

Hi Nil Einne, yes, Pasar Malam literally means "night market" and over here, there are distinctions on the way these markets operate:

In Singapore, the media correctly translates them as "Night Bazaars". Self-explanatory, except that some F&B [Market_stall|stalls] and some others do open as early as morning to feed hungry customers (it's good business whilst the Night Bazaars deadline license lasts)

Night Bazaars do not have Business-operating-hours constraints (of course, in obvious agreement to public and the resident's peace and privacy reasons they don't operate past 10~11pm hours). Moreover, these bazaars only operate within a fixed duration to which they were licensed by the trade organiser. This may last:

3 days, beginning on Friday, and ending on Sunday night.
3 days, beginning on Wednesday, and ending on Friday night. (rare)
5 days (rare)
1 week
2 weeks

For the above, #4 and #5 usually operate alongside a fun-fair setup, bringing small-to-medium-sized rides, and games to kids/adults alike.

Size-wise, a Night Bazaar can be licensed (yes, some sort of trade organiser must register to operate a Night Bazaar) to cover an entire busy roadside, or that it can encompass the size of a soccer field.

Should this be linked (as in hyperlinked) to/from the [Bazaar] article? What do you think? Dexter (talk) 09:02, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
