Sim Lim Square - Map, Mall Directory & More
Thailand has its Parntip Plaza, Malaysia has its Low Yat Plaza, so here is Singapore's own - Sim Lim Square, the undisputed top shopping playground of cyber-geeks, computer DIY'ers, gamers and IT aficionados.
For two decades, this undisputed hunting ground for computer building parts (and, at one time, pirated software) has been the place to buy PCs, LCD/display monitors, DRAM memory chips, flash thumb-drives, harddisk drives, (re)writable CDs, printers and other gadgets. Back 'alleys' abound with more exotic electronic items - from circuit board components to LAN cables/switches and network testers to LED displays and walkie-talkies. The lower floors are fronted by consumer electronics shops selling video camcorders, digital cameras and audio/hifi systems and equipment. A complete and comprehensive electronics & IT haven !
Other malls featured in this page's map and shops listing are Bugis Junction and Plaza Singapura.
