    • PETALING STREET (fraud market)

    Know this folks, no matter how much the stall owners try to convince you or how genuine th products look, DKNY tees, Rolex watches and CK perfumes arent sold on streetstalls in Malaysia. You need to go to a boutique for that.

    Most products sold at petaling Street are fake items. A rolex watch will be sold to you at RM500 only. I (being a local) would buy it for RM30. The same goes for everything else. So dont get fooled.
