Something wrong there Geedee. Mr bb just told me he pays RM 26.99 for 6 pack of Skol tins...that is RM 4.50 each. Tesco price. Even in the foodcourt you'll pay RM 12 for a large bottle Skol. And this is official prices. Have heard that if you ask around....ahem....you can usually find some suppliers doing cheaper beer and wine, maybe fell off the back of a boat from duty free Langkawi hehe

I've bought Guiness in Malysia before and it was the 8% stuff in cans that doesn't really have much of a head on it .What's the stuff you're talking about like ?

Hehe there does seem to be a fair bit of unofficial stuff around. I know wine isn't the topic subject but had to chuckle when someone told me that their hairdressers had a stock of specially priced wine
