We started out by consulting Instant Store for their list of best selling products in Malaysia and compared it to the data collected from online Malaysian shops like Alibaba and 11 Street, as well as hypermarkets like Tesco, and Sephora for cosmetics. With these tools, we managed to create a unique list of 10 best selling products in Malaysia, so let’s start counting.
