Don't know but one thing I know, due to strong SGDLR, you can save quite a bit of $$$ buying things outside SIN.

was in HK one week plus ago. Spore DFS prices were cheaper for the brands I was interested. HKD is pegged to USD which has strengthened quite a bit against SGD.

Nope. So is SKII still cheaper in HK?

Same price for SKII in Singapore and HK. I checked it out on my way to US.
