The Best Shopping

Batik: While most of the batiks you find in Singapore come from Indonesia, most in Malaysia are made at factories that you can often tour. The Indonesian prints usually show traditional motif and colors, while Malaysian designs can be far more modern. Look for batik silk as well.

Knockoffs and Pirated Goods: Check out how real those watches look! And so cheap! You can find them at any night market. Ever dream of owning a Gucci? Have I got a deal for you! Can I tell you about pirate video CDs and computer software without getting my book banned? Uh, okay, whatever you do, don't buy these items!
