Located in 10 Jalan Besar, Sim Lim Tower is truly known as the electronics tower. You will find mostly electronics shop here. Has small entrance with weird but functional walkways. May not be wheelchair-friendly. Building is one of thw oldest in this area, so lacking of maintenance in certain area is expected.

SIM lim plaza is an IT techie dream six floors of everything IT phones, TVs, computers, CCTV, software and more, brand names as well as makes you may not have heard of. Repair shops, other retailers selling used equipment. You really need to have a little knowledge of what it is you want, most trader's are genuinely honest and helpful, others may try to sell something that is not absolutely genuine. Worth a visit.

Old building, great to find peripherals and audio miscellania, a few phone shops are there too, however they can be dodgy at most times. Beware of scammer around this building and SimLim Square as well.

Not to be confused with Sim Lim Square: this is the Tower and is on the north side of the same intersection. Sim Lim Tower is where you go to buy electronic components and... well... STUFF, in the same way that you might go to Akihabara if you're in Tokyo. It's a mix of medium and small-to-smaller shops. If you know what you need, but can't find it, ask one of the shopkeepers where they'd go to get the same thing - a good strategy. And shop around. The traders are helpful, knowledgeable, and will spend time with you if you're a serious shopper. There's a food shop on the upper level. If you're an electronics enthusiast looking for a bit of excitement while on holiday, then you could walk all the levels of Sim Lim Tower in about 90 minutes (and then head to Mustafa Centre). But if you want computer bits, then walk back across the intersection to Sim Lim Square. That's exciting shopping too.

sim lim square is also a rule, but here is more maniac,
In a sense, it looks like Akihabara, such as a cable shop, a CCD camera shop, and an LED shop, but even if you go to buy such a thing, I think the price is cheaper in Japan.

Even if you normally want smartphones and computer parts, it's still safe to go to Simrim Square.
Funan just wants a quick restart.

A heaven for those who are into anything and everything electrical and electronic. Resistors, capacitors, transistors, breadboard, soldering iron, etc. This is the place to go to before the days of strawberry pi.

If you are into DIY electronics or electronics repair, this is an awesome place to get components, tools, etc. Can be a little intimidating at first due to the number of stores and expectation that you know what you're doing. There are stores for every level of experience though, from hobbyist places selling Arduinos, to small shops selling random assortments of components, to "professional" offices selling expensive test equipment.

Definitely worth a visit if you're an electronics nerd!

Note: a lot of reviews for this place actually seem to be for Sim Lim Square, which is kitty corner to it and sells consumer oriented electronics (with a reputation for ripoffs).
