hi my flight stops in singapore for one night. I arrive at 6pm on a wednesday and leave the next morning.

My question is is... what time do shops close in chinatown and little india where are the best places to shop?

They usually close between 9 to 10 pm but because now's the Chinese Lunar New Year season they close much later for Chinatown.

The Malay Village is in Paya Lebar which is on the airport side of the city and easy to get too.

don't know what time its open till - I leave near there in Geylang and everytime I go near the joint it looks pretty quite to me...

thanks guys - you are so helpful,

What is at the Malay village? cause I won't have much time to shop - I want to get a chinese style dress for my daughter. Should I just head straight into chinatown or can I get alot of interesting stuff at the malay Village?

Malay stuff in the Malay Village - quite nice too

If you want Chinese stuff head straight for China Town and they have the benifit of staying opn late generally.

maybe u jus want to walk around chinatown then if u dont hv much time. coz there are more stuff to see at chinatown than at malay village (which is nice but small). from chinatown u can also walk to boat quay en clark quay 2 very touristy spots in singapore

.
suggested chinatown to my dutch relatives too when they were here jus for a day but i couldnt show them around coz i was in nederlands then

Another option is to go to Mustafa... off Little India. The store is open 24h/24 and you find many things... I am not so sure though regarding a chinese style dress for your daughter but Indian style outfit and bangles yes...
You can also go to Boat quay (or is it clarke quay?? I always confuse them so double check)... On that quay there are touristy shops with chinese dresses. Not sure what time they close though... if someone knows?

enjoy your short time in Singapore!

You'll find a much wider selection of touristy stuff in Chinatown. Most shops there close by 10 PM at the latest though.
