Johore IT Fair Now On

For those who might want to go to this year’s Comex 2009 but hate the crowd, you can cut across the Causeway and go to the Johore’s ECOM 2009 (IT and Electrical Fair) in Malaysia. For me, though I stay quite close to JB, however, I’m unable to go for this one as my International passport has already expired :P .

It happens at Persada Johor International Convention Centre which should be right behind the Public Bank building near Johor’s City Square shopping centre which is located at Jalan Trus.
From the map above, Persada Johor International Convention Centre is located at the item “B”.

From sources which I gather, the IT & Electrical fair will be broken into 4 event categories.

1. Electrical Home Appliances
2. Compute & IT Products
3. Digital Cameras & Camcorders
4. Online Gaming Show & Tournament

The IT Fair will begin today (11 till 13 Sept) and starts from 11am till 10 pm.

According due some of of Malaysian colleagues, it would be a bit cheaper to buy IT goods from the Johor’s IT fair due to the currency exchange. As for now SGD$1 is equivalent to Ringgit$2.40 !

Furthermore IT goods brought in from the causeway should not have any tax according to one of them (how true is it I have no idea). To be on the safe side ….. just throw away the box and just bring in the goods (don’t quote me on this … haha).

Now you can choose, where to go right :)
