    Just a tip since I live in Singapore, when you are in Sum Lim Square and you want to buy and tech things do not go and buy from the stores on the first and second stories as all of their prices are OVER PRICED because it where all the tourist mainly explore. from the fourth floor onwards the prices are all pretty decent
