Landed properties designated as Bumi lot can be sold to a non bumi if it is auctioned via High Court Order.
For strata titled units where titles are not issued, sale is thru private treaty..ie it's like a sub sale,all restrictions re transfer still applies. In TS's case, no, I'll not consider the unit in question.4% nett returns is NOT really attractive. Unless there's a huge capital upside potential, there are lots of capital guaranteed investment opportunities available in the market with similar rate of returns.
For all auction cases, buyer must have contingency plans to pay bal of bid price in 120 days...come rain or sunshine. Possibility of delays due to complications is quite common. Otherwise, be prepared for 10% forfeiture.
Edit:due to critical omissions in original post.

I totally agree with you, my lawyer also advises me to have a plan B, to prepare for cash buy first if time is out of control. Too many things have to be considered, therefore I conclude the risks are not worth to take.
After all, there will be a 10% drop in the next auction.

Normally bumi properties started from private auction and only bumiputras / putris are able to bid.
After a few auction, it will move to court auction.
During then anyone can buy.
On the legal document, it's still a bumi lot but a consent is given.
Now, a non-bumi bought it and the price will increase 40% to 50% following non-bumi market rate. If it's sold back to a bumi, it will return back to bumi status.
Do you think when a bumi lot sold to non bumi from auction, it can be freely transacted again without any restriction ?
