I have some HKD wanted to change back to SGD.

My rate is HKD 598 = SGD 100

p/s I know this rate not very good, but this is the rate i get last year when i visited hong kong. Dun want to loose money but also not looking to gain, so my rate will not change. Interest party can PM me, but please be patient as i dun login everyday; will reply as soon as i can.
Regards.

Changed back at chinatown just now 670hkd = 109.20 SGD

For the long queue MC at chinatown, sgd to hkd is about 0.1677 if I didnt rmb wrongly... Either the rates went down greatly... or june demand is too high hence the cmi rates

If your friend is going HK for shopping, advise her/him to change more and bring over cos the exchange rate in HK is bad.

When i was there last year end Singapore exchange rate is 100:596, HK is 100:592. When checking out hotel the rate is even worse 100:584 so instead of paying by CC i pay cash cos i change a lot of money there thought want to shopping but at the end did not buy anything so balance quite a bit of HKD
