A substantial amount of bros in this thread has known to walk Batam by foot in the day,except it is advise not to walk alone during late night. Of course,refrain from wearing too flashy,eg Gold Rolex watch on right hand,1kg gold bracelet on left hand,5kg gold necklace etc. It is traveler's personal responsibility to keep own valuable/s safe and these basic rules applies to all countries in the world which includes Sillypore.

Fake? Deteriorated? Stolen? Underground market?

Thanks for the heads up on this,i usually make apple to apple comparison. Eg DFS Sillypore Harbour Front versus Batam DFS Harbour Bay,not those shops outside Batam custom area that shows the DFS sign. If price difference is too much,i will be extra wary.
I made comparison between China's Bai Yun airport versus Sillypore's Changi Air Port,both are inside custom where one needs an air tickets to enter in order to make purchase and Sillypore airport Liquor is about 20% more expensive.
In Sillypore,there is a debt collection method known as Ali Ba Ba,i dont know if it applies in Batam too. A gambler loses a lot of money,he doesnt have cash and hardly anyway to get any,so he uses his credit card and max it out with purchase like Sony products or liquor products or anything with the highest retainable resell value,which he will sells it to his debtor at a 20% to 30% off the retail price or another person to get cash to pay off his debts. And most of these products (if they are electronics) bought by the debtor or person is resold it to places like Sim Lim Sq. (and if its liquor,it will be at KTV night club ) Just sharing...

Yes,i agree. And the list is not yet complete. After moving around Utama area the day before,i found out that there are at least 10 MPs not named in the list,hence bro Newyorker says the list is "incomplete",applies to the list i compiled too.
Batam is always different in my every trip. See,this trip got Bunga and Blue Moon.Carnaval mall is a total crap,and DC mall is a wonderland,hehehe... And i am surprise by the quality massage i got from Indo Rasa,tho the girls are mainly MILF. And i am talking about Vitalitas type of massage which is very very close to JG completed with a HJ,hehehe....mind blowing for me,tho are some flaws. Will share more after i get back to Sillypore.
