3 Puzzles

I've had occasion to ask myself the following questions in the course of a long day, and as the day wanes I'm afraid I have no answers:
 
Why do so many shops in Malaysia maintain a level of air-conditioning that makes the average chap (i.e. me) distinctly uncomfortable, to the point of actual shivering? Can this be cost effective in any way?
 
Why do people queue (yes, really) to gain admission to crowded shops selling bags? Expensive bags.
 
How do the emporia in this part of the world sustain their version of Capitalism when I spend so little in them? (And I hasten to add that the Missus, although a little freer with her purse, is not exactly a big spender either.)
