Then we try to look for so called new ECO shop open near Taman Mutiara Mas area. But unable to even see the shop signage, and even banner. So much for information coming from 1 PhD holder.
We decided to have a look at Stadium Islandar Putri. But it looks to be in construction works and not even complete for any game this month.

The importancy in using correct charger with matched ampere (A), power (W) and voltage (V) for your electronic devices.

I end up burned my universal adapter last evening of 17 October when using it to charged up my 2 months Pineng 20,000 mAh power bank.
The USB port in the universal adapter can only cater maximum 5 V/1 A. While my Pineng 20,000 mAh needs input 5V/2 A. 
This happen when an experienced engineer infested with dry flu virus. Harder to check every single items before usage. Might need design a good scanning device to advise me later could or not this device being used to charged with this charger.
