I realised the gold price in malaysia is significantly cheaper compared to SG. For example, 916 price is about SGD80+ whereas SG is 100+? Is it cheaper to buy in malaysia? Is there something i am missing out on?

Their ringgit prices are a few times more than Sg, when converted may be more expensive. Not worth to buy certain things there. Custom will stop you. Some things are not allowed here. If caught, may fine and things confiscated, not worth it.

The price of gold is the same in the world. That is why it holds it value.

it is the workmanship and overheads of the shop that makes the price difference.

In Sg, buying gold has no gst as well

But how come price of 916 and 999 gold is cheaper in malaysia? If u buy a similar design and same weight in malaysia, it should be cheaper right?

If it’s jewellery, Probably workmanship costs… anyway everything bought in SG is more expensive than other countries.

why waste time buying gold from overseas? gold in SG don't even need to pay GST...



If u buy gold bar 5g n above. No need to pay gst. Jewellery only china n HK is selling pure gold (24k) , ah tiong doesn buy 916gold lor. Jewellery needs to incur gst + workmanship. 周大福 workmanship is the most exp but the bangle workmanship is superb
