Sim Lim Square

Touting itself as Singapore’s largest electronics and computer centre, this 6-storey mall is a well known spot to get all your electronic and IT needs met for cheaper, with hundreds of shops in its midst, most of them small independent units. It may be cheaper than other places, but the mall has also become quite notorious in recent years with many shops being reported to the local authorities for trying to scam its customers, both locals and tourists alike, so do your research to make sure you get what you came for. A quick google reveals lots of complaints by scammers, and there is a list published by the local consumer watchdog CASE available both online and at the mall so you know which stores to look out for. The mall is centrally located just on the periphery of the downtown area near the Little India and Bugis districts.
