The Sungei Road Thieves Market is not a market for stolen goods but actually a flea market for used items and things you wouldn't have thought of. The market is just a short walk from Jalan Besar at Sungei Road. It may not be in the same league as the markets in Chinatown or Bugis Street, but I find the Thieves Market a lot more interesting with its touch of local colour.
This flea market opens daily but gets more active on weekends, especially during the afternoons. Most of the vendors looked like retired old men who come here to pass their time and socialise with other vendors and possibly make some extra money. All soughts of things are sold here including fans and electric ovens, though I'm not sure whether they worked.
