wait for the official malaysia ps3 to be released on the 20th and you'll be able to get it for 1599RM.

You could get one now for around 1.5k, but it will probably be the 40GB Singapore version, and come with Singapore warranty (ie, it has to been sent back to singapore if anything goes wrong and could take 1-2 months before you see it again!)
