I'd just wait and see.

The logo is clickable.

For e.g. the event logo.

Unless they pull a biggest con in malaysia, i doubt they would clone a current Newegg CEO and Mukhriz Mahathir from MITI.

Seem got lot of government backing.




Dr. S. C. Lee President & CEO of Newegg Inc , and Mr. Eaman Tang NeweggMalaysia Managing Director at the opening of Newegg Malaysia Office.

From wikipedia it seem the same name and current Newegg USA CEO.

Google Image show seem the same person.

Purely my own speculation, i think they receive quite a lot of benefit from government.

I doubt any people would even dream they would land in SEA nor even here.

Seem still in their initial stage.

Let wait and see, when will they open their online store.

there is so many reason to buy online. 1 ... no need to drive. 2. no need to find and pay stupid parking rates. 3. most (not all) the sellers at local computer shops either dont know their products they carry or even the technical specifications when i talk to them.

the only thing i will continue to buy from shops are HDDs

He's Ministry of Trades and Industry Malaysia of course he has to be at international events what you expect?

Why does everything have to be linked to politics in the end.....

Hopefully PRO-PR malaysian will not anti tis online website.

implying that all non govt project are clean and without isuues...

Anyways that pics are from a trade fair which means that the trade Minister (Mukhriz) would be there.

Newegg Lands In Malaysia: What We Know So Far

Someone form VR-Zone got e-mail reply from Newegg staff:



Source: HERE

1.00 SGD = 2.40840 MYR
no wonder they are so happy

lol why need to politicize this topic?

This is just a normal foreign investment here.

Whoever the government, this is their job to get them here.

In order to attract them, sure nice deal are given, be it a tax break, loan, or even land (Newegg do need a big warehouse right?).

Most MNC company here do enjoy some kind of benefit even the Intel else i doubt they would come in early 70's.

haha not like if PR government then they will chase all out or get back all those given benefit, or become stingy, they might even given more deal.

Who would ever think Newegg would come here?

Logically they see some benefit here, maybe there is an attractive government offer there for them, who knows.

Malaysia or even this SEA region, this kind of market still young, maybe they also see a way to conquer them.

received email from newegg:

Finally. My prayers have been answered.

But you need to pray for another thing:
Price structure.

i personally think, most factory might won't want Newegg to effect their channel business... at least not for now

Hopefully Newegg Malaysia can deliver the kind of services and deals that made Newegg US so popular.

ok. at least we have some official correspondence and contents already.



yeah i clicked before. What I didn't realize was it's scrollable!

Thanks!

yes. Let's wait and see. I won't be jumping for joy until I see their catalog, shipping charges and warranty policies.
