Just one thing, if I buy something bulky (Macbook Pro) and fly back here, will the Malaysian custom stop me and ask me to pay "tax"? Assuming it's only 1 and still wrapped.

don’t somehow call someone’s opinion as bullshit if you don’t agree with it.

thailand has apple stores probably also due to its prime location in the SEA region. it’s not about whether the local citizens are using apple products. thailand is a tourist destination, and tourists as well as many expats could also purchase apple products at a cheaper rate

Looks beautiful and unique. Wonder when will even Apple try to open one here. (Probably AARs are blocking them rclxs0.gif )

I'll start a suggestion list of where Apple could possibly open one here in Malaysia with a special design. Just for the fun.
1) Bukit Bintang, one of the shoplot/building of the row of shoplot facing Fahrenheit 88. Design -> Full Glass
2) Opposite BB's McD corner building. Design -> Full Glass
3) Any shoplot facing Berjaya Times Square. Design -> Normal shop lot (Not ideal)

I'm really bad at this. Anyone wants to rework on my suggestion list? biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

At the end of the day, it all boils down to whether the government allows for a fully foreign-owned retail store and whether Apple is willing to set up a company here using the local "workarounds", if you catch my drift.
