Sorry for the late reply smile.gif
How I got it? Hehehe.

You will need to purchase it via HK Apple Online Store (no contract required). First of all, you will need to send it to a HK address (my friend is working there).

To my surprise, they accept Malaysia Citibank VISA credit card. It will take 1 working day to process the payment and the next day, it will ship the item. I purchased on Saturday and my friend got it on Tuesday since Saturday and Sunday is non-working day.

That's about it. Remember, different banks will have different exchange rates also different day smile.gif
Any more things you guys want to know? smile.gif
When you got your phone, just place your sim card and just activate it via iTunes. It will work fine! smile.gif

What I did was, I put Billing and Shipping information of my HK friend's address.

This is because Billing and Shipping has to be in HK smile.gif

With the current exchange rate, iphone 16gb costs around RM2800+ if buy from HK and RM2200+ if buy from New Zealand!

So better get one from NZ ;-)
