malay sia forever cannot make it there.. "

wow, you seem to know quite a bit about sg. thanks for the info.. I heard zouk has closed down few years ago I supposed?

where can buy SLR camera cheap in Singapore?

You meant optical/mechanical DLR or Digital SLR?
When I check most electronic and electrical good in SinKapo, most are more or less the same price. Difference are they carry more models.
Anyway checkout the Photography, Digital Imaging & Video section for better answers.

Singapore camera & Malaysia almost similar pricing..Well abit cheaper by ~ RM50 for prices from RM1000-RM1500..Still remembered years ago I bought my Olympus CZ570uz for RM1350 in KL & my JB fren got poisoned by me managed to get it at RM1300 haha..but dun forget the transport cost & the warranty claims hor...

i also saw their ads in singapore mega sales and the price may be the same or even higher a bit but their accessories may be branded. i think their tripod is manfrotto and bag is lowe.

here i think is nikon bag and cheap tripod.

In Singapore go for those electronics which you know in Malaysai comes wth Import duty. Camera/ IT related items are Duty free in Malaysia & therefore the pricing is almost similar 7 sometime more expensive in SG.

Only those electronics wth import duty in Malaysia but almost nill in SG is worth..for eg..LCD Tv, GPS & etc

hi, i'll be going to singapore by bus from jb for a day trip. planning to do some shopping there (clothes/shoes). when i get back into malaysia, will i get taxed/pay duty to malaysia customs for the stuff purchased at SG? this is my first time there so want to plan ahead.

You can bring back clothing from Singapore to Malaysia without being taxed, no problem.

nice! may i ask then what type of items that will incur tax?

So far, the custom at Malaysia side have never tax me or even bother asking me to open my bag.

u dun carry ultra big bag or ultra alot of plastic bags which incur their attention

Hi, I'm going to SG next month for 4 days 3 nights, and we have 4 - 6 persons, so we think it might be a good idea to stay in a 2 room apartment, but somehow it is not as easy as searching for a hotel in the internet.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to which apartment offers daily rate (because i saw some of the apartments requires a minimum stay of one week)? If possible, please let me know whether their location is good or not. I'm looking for locations close to MRT or at least some attractions.

Thank you

Perhaps you can try hostel isntead. There are few that offer private rooms for 4-5 & wth own bathroom too..

For eg..I found this one right at Bugis village Nite market opposite Bugis Junction & MRT - Quad sharing private ensuite:

Check more of these hostels but not all comes wth private room or what they called "Private Ensuite"

electronics... make sure they don't catch you with the packaging, etc...

i got taxed by malaysia side once... and they will simply quote an amount on the spot...

no need to buy ezlink card for everyone.. just buy 1 way passes.

helo guys i am here again..

would like to know how much does ezylink costs?someone told me $5 for card and $10 for the credit right? so its $15?

and what is the cheapest prepaid number i can get at sg?which telco? i need use passport to buy right?

and does shopping malls provide lockers for tourist like me to keep luggages?

thanks~~

if I bought an iphone from Singapore and bring it back to Malaysia, will it be taxed then?

Dun Think So If One Unit.

The Only Way Is Get From Apple Shop.
