Opposite holiday plaza..
It's about 2km away from Danga City Mall
According to ASUS themselves, the shops that carry the Memopad HD7 in Danga supposedly have it for RM549

Just checked on Google Maps. It is 1.8km from City Square - ard 30 mins walk. Prob is, it is beside the highway so may be difficult to walk if there is no pedestrian walk all the way

Walk? Wait kanna rob
Gadjetjm did a comparison of it with the Nexus 7 (2012)
There're other reviews and video/camera samples over the net as well

Yup, saw these too. Looking for more day-to-day usage reviews from locals. Thanks anyway.

Apparently, there are other options too, such as Valuebasket
They have it for the Singapore market ranging from SG$235 (Blu and white) to SG$301 (Pink, blue and grey)
Seems that the RRP is SG$339, which I hope won't be the final price in SG, that'd be really dumb and we'd be fleeced for distributor profits IMO
Personally, I wouldn't ming paying SG$235 if it's a walk in and self-purchase, but they're courier only, which presents a few problems (that and I'm impatient)
Anyways, you can get the 16GB HD7 for RM499 (SG$194), but that's all the way up in Subang SS15 (20km from KL vicinity), so it's not the most convenient (good if you're headed up there as part of or for a trip though, but you'd be completely daft to head up there specifically for the tablet IMO), but in general, the MSRP for the HD7 in Malaysia is RM549, which tallies to SG$213 at the moment, not including exchange interests
Between SG$213 and SG$235, the difference is SG$22, so it really just depends if you're very penny pinching or you prefer the convenience in this case
Alternatively, there's also ordering from Amazon. I'm uncertain of the shipping rates unfortunately, but the lowest I've seen is US$7.28 (Tiger Direct), so it'll start at a base of US$149.95/SG$191 (not inclusive of tax and shipping yet) + US$7.28/SG$9.30 standard (not expedited) shipping, tallied base minimum is SG$200.30 by a reputable seller like Tiger Direct, and I'm uncertain in terms of the warranty that our local ASUS has, so we might or might not run into issues here
ADD:
Tiger Direct doesn't ship to SG
Amazon doesn't ship to SG
Antonline doesn't ship to SG
PCNation doesn't ship to SG
Electronics Express doesn't ship to SG
Not testing anymore of the others since they surpass US$155
