Ipod Nano

I just found something that is real fucked up. It’s about the device most people are drooling over, Ipod Nano.



The price of a 2GB Ipod Nano at the Apple Malaysia website : RM969

The price of a 4GB Ipod Nano at the Apple Singapore online store : $438

When converted to Malaysian Ringgit based on current conversion rates is about RM980.

Let’s take a moment to absorb the facts above. Ok, how fucked up is that? It seems Ipod is classified as a music equipment (when in fact Apple has classified Ipod as computer related items which are tax free here but customs thought otherwise) and is slapped with a whopping 21% tax. Someone tell me, isn’t it better if we all get the Ipod Nano at Singapore?
