The meeting notice of the Ghee Hin Kongsi, on the top left, states: "at this date and time, he who receives this notice must appear in attendance". This indicates that attendance to the meeting was compulsory. On the lower left, is the entry permit of the Cunxin Kongsi which states: "bearer of this ticket will be allowed entry". However, the nature of the activities that required the use of these tickets was not specified. The receipt for the entrance fee of the Cunxin Kongsi, shown on the right, indicates that a fee was likely to have been collected for entry to an initiation ceremony.
