Not to be confused with

Online
No website or Facebook page found (Facebook pages search and Yahoo, October 2026). We didn't check Shopee or Lazada.
Reviews
4.7 from 18 Google reviews (13 October 2026). Four of the five newest were posted within minutes of each other on 1 September 2025, three by accounts sharing a surname with the uploader of most of the listing's photos, so treat the praise with care; the newest is a rating without text from October 2025.

What it supplies

The signboards read Kedai Barangan Logam (hardware shop) and Joo Hong Hardware & Electric Trading. Google Maps contributor photos show:

  • a wall of packaged switches, sockets, plugs and adaptors, with extension sockets and cable-reel extensions
  • shelves of tools, hoses, plumbing fittings and household goods
  • bundles of rubber V-belts hanging from the ceiling
  • a key-cutting counter. Kim Hin Kunci, a Malaysian key and locksmith supplier, lists the shop in its locksmith directory.

Unipaint is the only brand on its signs. None of the electrical brands’ dealer lists we checked (Philips, Schneider, Hager, Maxguard, CHINT) names this shop. We saw no circuit breakers or wiring cable in the photos, so ask by phone for anything beyond switches and sockets.
