Currency rate difference is probably the case. Based on most Apple products, Malaysia is cheaper than S'pore. rAnged between rm100 - rm300 cheaper. Thats why some Apple store in Malaysia in some cases require Malaysian I/C as proof. A lot of S'poreans cross the border and buy them here.

That's a bit expensive. My ballpark figure would probably be around RM1k range for the lowest end and RM1700 for the high specs. Dunno lol.
