I have been many times ans ALWAYS go to Sim Lim Towers & Sim Lim square right by the Rocher channel. any Taxi will know where it is and only about 15 mins from most hotels there.each floor of Sim lim Square is almost dedicated to an particular product ( not brand ) there are literally hundreds of " shops " in there all competing against each other. All types of computers/software/hardware can be purchased at MUCH cheaper prices than here, also remember the A$is buying Sing$1.21 at moment. on the first floor is all cameras/video camera's and the latest hard drive digital video cameras plus all accessories you want. I go over and buy radio micrphones that are 1/2 the price and some 1/3 of what I pay here ( these are quality ones ) not the el cheapo stuff. You have a Mass of selections, dont make a decission too soon, some are sharks and try to get you to buy at the first shop. spend heaps of time there and you will not be sorry and will save BIG TIME. I love Singapore, very clean smooth traffic and yet very well priced,,,, WELL except for drinks, Chivers Regal per 750 Ml bottle !!!!!! and 2 beers $20Singapore, $200.00 ea same as ciggarettes, it is because the Singapore Govt do not want there people to drink much or become achoholics so they load it to the hilt. But, go over the causway to Jahor ( maylasia ) 20 mins only and you can buy it as cheap as chips !!! Well, best of luck and enjoy your stay. Doug5369
