I usually shop at Plaza Low Yat again in Bukit Bintang . Viewnet has always given me some good deals but it's not like the old days and shopping in Malaysia is getting close to set prices. I agree with Singapore it's just too expensive. Compared to Australia, Malaysia is still cheaper but the big difference is the variety of goods.

It's well-known, so just ask a local when you're walking on Bukit Bintang (the main shopping street in KL). By the way, do bargain on price. And do plenty of research on prices in your home country before you go. KL still has some good prices, but I've found that hardware in Bangkok and Singapore can be more expensive than in e.g. the UK and Germany,

For Europeans reading this: These days it is a mistake to assume that prices in South East Asia are always cheaper than Europe: economies of scale and Internet shopping in e.g. the UK and Germany have made PC (and other electronic) hardware prices very competitive. I have several times bought hardware in the UK that was significantly cheaper than in Asia (even taking into account the bargaining).
