There Is No Maker Movement in China

Sim Lim tower is actually better for maker stuff than Sim Lim square. The two are just across the street from each other.

(I hope I'm not mixing them up.)

You're correct. Sim Lim Tower is where the electronic/electrical stuff is, Sim Lim Square has the computer parts and electronics (cameras etc).

But in Singapore, the mother lode is probably Koba Electronics[1] in Chinatown..

Thanks. I'll check out Koba when I'm there over Chinese New Year.

Around the Sim Lims (and across the island) you also have lots of small hardware shops.
