What is cheap(er) in Singapore?
Heading there for a meeting for a few days. I was wondering what bargain could be made there, if any? Thanks!

For a significant improvement hop across to JB, or better still wait for a trip to Vietnam or Cambodia.

Apple keeps the base price equal across all markets. Taxes and duties are low in SG though, so it's not a bad place to buy, you're just not going to get crazy savings. (Unless you're coming from some place like Brazil where the duties are insane.)

Thanks for this. I'm in Singapore next month and I'm in need of new glasses.
