SGD Strong, Ringgit Weak

64GB IPad Air 2 WIFI
Malaysia Apple Store online selling for RM2045 (including Malaysia GST n delivery)
Singapore Apple Store online selling for S$828 (including Singapore GST n delivery)
The price difference is S$100 (>10% margin)

Imagine you are a wholesaler in Malaysia
- you claim back Malaysia GST for export (if possible)
- you enjoy a lower cost because you don't need delivery service from Apple
- you sell in Singapore, consumers pay Sngapore GST

The gross-profit margin might be more than S$100
 
that is very close to bank spot.

Tell you a secret, during my last trip Penang the money changer quoted spot-rate when i sold SGD for ringgit,
No mark-up for RUN selling SGD
They will mark up 2.5 sen margin if you are doing the opposite (sell MYR)

I couldn't believe it at first.
absolutely no commission or spread because the local chinese community wanna hold as much SGD as possible
Penang, being in the far north, maybe SGD supply is not as abundant as Johor.

Perhaps they are anticipating the RM to drop further. Hence the tendency to hold S$ and also US$ too.
 
just a observation , not to counter any of the postings in this thread.

when rate is 2.7/2.8 people rash in to exchange
do they deal in large amount like $5K , 10K ?
a week later the rate is 2.9 , do these people exchange again ?
what is the purpose ?
or they just change a few hundreds , a thousand or two so they
can buy things from malaya ?
when rate is 2.9 ,they repeat the same process ?
how many times they want do this ?

Wah Lau you really sheltered, these transactions done by Malaysian working in Singapore, they will change thousands as part of their salary, sometimes they wait or they may change periodically.
 
Jiu hu kia Tonychat must be having a good time. Earning peanuts in SGD and when converted to RM, he gets a lot.
