    MOVE over, Singapore. Sales may be cooling down in our glass-plated designer mega-stores, but luxury marques can make up for the decline by muscling into new emerging cities, many of which are in neighbouring South-east Asian countries.

    According to a new report by research group Wealthinsight, Bangkok, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and Ho Chi Minh City are among 10 emerging cities targeted for luxury brand expansion.
