Are you in Malaysia with gold jewellery, coins, or bars you're thinking of selling? Getting the best possible price (harga emas terbaik) is surely your goal. Many Malaysians wonder: should I sell my gold locally in places like KL, Johor Bahru, or Penang, or could traveling across the causeway to Singapore mean more Ringgit in my pocket?


This guide helps you compare. We explain why Singapore is a top choice for Malaysians looking to sell gold, especially valuable items, and how you can get the best price for your gold in 2025. Our aim is to make the process clear and comfortable for you.



Why Malaysians Should Consider Selling Gold in Singapore:

Selling locally in Malaysia is convenient, but Singapore offers distinct advantages:


  1. Major Gold Trading Hub: Singapore's global role means strong demand and competition among buyers. This often translates to higher gold prices than might be available in local Malaysian markets. More buyers competing can result in a better offer for your gold.

  2. Transparent and Fair Pricing: Reputable licensed gold buyers (link to about us page) like us ensure fairness:

    1. Accurate Testing: We use modern XRF analysers for precise purity (karat) checks without damaging your gold.

    2. Accurate Scales: Your gold is weighed accurately on very exact scales. Process is done in front of you.

    3. Market-Linked Prices: Our offers reflect live international gold prices. We clearly explain how we calculate the value.

  3. Trust and Security: Benefit from Singapore's safe environment and strict business practices.

    1. Licensed Buyers: We are proven professional, licensed businesses. Avoid risks found locally.

    2. Secure Transactions: Conduct your sale securely in our private office. Get paid immediately via cash or bank transfer upon agreement.

  4. Expertise for All Gold Types: From old (barang kemas) to broken pieces, coins, or super brand jewellery (Cartier, Tiffany, etc.), experienced Singapore buyers recognize their full value, often beyond just the gold weight.

  5. Options for High-Value Items (Consignment): For unique, high-value, or branded pieces, direct purchase might not be the only option. We also offer consignment. We can help sell the item for you in the premium market, potentially achieving a higher price over time. Let's discuss if this suits your item.

  6. Communicate Comfortably: No language barrier! Our team speaks fluent English and Malay (and Chinese too). Discuss your items and the process easily.


Comparing Prices: Singapore vs. Malaysia

While gold prices fluctuate globally, the final offer depends on the buyer.


  • Local Malaysian Buyers: Prices can vary widely. Some local shops or pajak gadai (pawn shops) might offer lower rates, focusing mainly on melt value, especially outside major cities like KL.

  • Singapore Buyers: Due to high competition, established Singapore buyers often provide offers closely aligned with international market rates. The Singapore gold price from reputable dealers tends to be very competitive compared to average harga emas terpakai Malaysia.


Is the Trip to Singapore Worth It for Malaysians?


For just a few grams, selling locally in Malaysia might be simpler. But if you have:


  • A good amount of gold jewellery

  • Gold bars or investment coins

  • Valuable super brand jewellery

  • Items suitable for consignment


...the potentially higher price for gold in Singapore could significantly outweigh travel costs (especially from Johor Bahru or KL) and increase your profit. It's a short trip for potentially much better returns.
