We can finally go to Sim Lim Square without having to squeeze through the always crowded Bugis Street or go under the scorching sun.

With Funan the IT mall soon to be converted into a lifestyle mall, things are going in the right direction for Sim Lim Square. However, always pay attention and ask for the final price of whichever item you are buying. There are honest shops but some shops will take advantage of people who always wants the best bargain.

Remember, when something is too good to be true--it usually is. Do not end up paying an exorbitant amount due to some underhanded methods. Another great tip is to look out for the shops blacklisted under CASE (a huge signboard) and also look for shops with the STARETAILER sticker.

Visit reputable shops, whereby most of the time the staff is being in uniform instead of plain clothes. Other than Fuwell and Bizgram, their staff wears plain clothes but have a good reputation.

Other shops worth a notice:
Bizgram
Fuwell
Newstead
Song Brothers
Tec-drome
Video Pro
X-treme Solution
