Indo Dude, you are probably not a Singaporean. I am a Singaporean living here for more than 20 years and I have never ever found or bought fakes. I simply can't find them!
Electronic goods are slightly cheaper in Singapore than in other countries but I wouldn't suggest going out of your way to save maybe $20 and spend $2000 on the air ticket if you know what I mean. But otherwise, if that is only part of your itinerary to shop for electronics then Singapore has the best bargains. Go to Sim Lim Square for even greater deals.

I have found prices on GENUINE electronics to be more expensive than buying on the Web. This is for two digital cameras and a laptop bought within the past two years. Singapore is full of branded fakes and stripped-down items as well as software that does not work. If you do buy electronics, be very careful, especially if the price is too good to be true.
I would go to China Town or Little India for something to take back home.

Yes, absolutely - ONLY if you know what you want.
Sim Lim Square is a good place to find the cheapest equipment and they're tax free. Be wary of touts and shady sellers who will upsell to tourists and foreigners. My advice is to alwasy do as much research as you want on the product that you want, BEFORE you get to the stores. When you're there, go from one store to another and ask for the price, quoting the exact model that you want. You'll be surprised to find after the 5th store, the seller will come forward proactively offering you a cheaper price for the item you desire! (Word-Of-Mouth communications is truly alive and well in Sim Lim Square)

Yes they are cheaper. But DO NOT go to SIM LIM square or any other place that has the word SIM LIM on it. This is because you run the risk of getting fakes or dodgy goods.
Go to FUNAN CENTRE and expect to save maybe 15-20% compared to say Europe or US. If you are offered a greater saving, be suspicious.

i visit sense the position you're coming from and the sheer frustration of this. there are a selection of motives that someone will grow to be a hoarder. it truly is an inner situation that must be labored out or commonly used. i do not ignore that doesn't help a lot with this yet there are some issues that you'll attempt to diminish the rigidity from it. the secret is to locate a thanks to regulate the products that are there. Ask him about products particularly of only tossing out. there are thoughts to condense it. once you ask, do it in a effective way particularly of the thoughts-set of he has to get rid of this junk. espresso Mugs: purchase countless espresso reveal racks and carry them round the abode for the collector or sentimental espresso mugs. it truly is a astounding thanks to tutor them off and shops them at the same time. those that are not collector or sentimental, ask him in case you may donate to an area soup kitchen. Plastic bins: positioned the contraptions interior the bins and snap lids on them. then you may stack them in a closet or nook of a room. Any bins without lids, ask him in case you may positioned into the recycle. Dinnerware: positioned what you may interior the kitchen shelves to apply. they're tremendous to warmth up stuff and to have at the same time as agency comes. discover out if any are sentimental. some thing no longer sentimental, ask in case you may donate to an area soup kitchen. Newspapers: Will any slot in those plastic bins? If none are for gathering or sentimental, ask to take to the recycle. Electronics: in the journey that they are in operating order, then advise that you promote them on eBay to get some further funds. or you need to as nicely do a backyard sale and make some funds that way. computers: I were given my husband to salvage the usable elements and then we took some thing else to the computing device recycle position. They used the elements for computing device restore and it became out our abode. you may positioned the elements in those plastic bins as well. On situation to save in thoughts is that modify should be puzzling. do not hit him with the sparkling-up all at one time. Do one merchandise classification, like the newspapers and then wait an afternoon or 2. Then the subsequent one like that. tell him that you do not opt to might want to bypass each and every thing because it really is one of those vast pastime yet at the same time you do not want him to might want to provide up all his stuff. go searching and word what products of yours you may upload to the pile of his products that you're taking out. good luck!
