Funan DigitaLife Mall – the go-to IT mall in Singapore – will be closing down for a major revamp on 30 June 2016. The total redevelopment time will take approximately three years to complete. This is a setback to many – those who have been operating their businesses for the years, and those who regularly visit Funan for great deals on electronics.

Funan’s accessible location is one of the key factors to its success and popularity. With its closing, we can now only turn to other places for our electronics and gadgets fix.

Here are 8 Other Places to Buy Electronics in Singapore.

#1 BEST DENKI

There are currently 6 Best Denki outlets islandwide. They are usually in shopping malls and offer a wide range of electronics from television sets to hot hair tools.
