many many years ago, when teh tarik is 30cents, we drank happily.
inflation came, and teh tarik became 40 cents, we still drank happily.
inflation came again and teh tarik became 50 cents. we grumble but still shout to the mamak teh tarik please!
when sugar shortage came, teh tarik became 70 cents. we were upset but yet we still drank but ordering teh tarik kurang manis, hoping it will reduce the sugar consumption and hoping that the price will come back down.
teh tarik increased to 90 cents because petrol was suddenly increased substantially. mamak says it's due to logistics cost. we still order our teh because it's still cheaper than the canned drinks.
teh tarik went up to rm1.20, we still have it with our roti canai.
inflation came again, teh tarik is rm1.50, we curse here and there but yet we still order our tarik!

Yes yes yes...  let's fight for RPGT.

tell me where is the empty houses???
in KL or near KL, dun tell me the ulu ulu places...my area (Setapak) when a new condo VP-ed , all the units willl be filled in just few months. i think it is the same for other part of KL/PJ.  i hardly see any empty units (old and new condo) in my area.
pls take note KL will have 7 millions population by 2020 by NEM (now 3, 4mil?)...it may be from the kampong, small towns eg bidor, kampar etc or immigrants (professional or illegal) and they all need house.. and kampong ppl want to upgrade to taman houses.
it is similar in Sg, when population increased last 3-4 years (from 4mil to 5mil, 30% up) and so the prop price goes up too..

dun just simply say without findings..

ha ha.. yesterday i just heard a friend said his cust who stay in BU (value about rm 1mil) unable to come out RM500++ to pay for the service of his household thing.. and need to pay the $ after one week later...    not many ppl stay big house got $$, many still struggle.

No la, in this "real world in malaysia" real estate prices will always go up up up .....never come down one...  our beloved superpm got all those ETP, PPT, TTP, TFK blah blah blah to keep this economy going up up and away! 

So no la, where got crash one la.  Waiting for a property crash? no such thing in malaysia one lah....the only direction for real estate prices in malaysia to go is up up and away...just like superman!  Because we got the superpm with all those super jargon such as ETP,NEP, PPT, TTP TFK to keep malaysia going to be a very developed super sophisikasi society of the Super First World by 2020 and we are going down the final lap of very "exciting" time to become a super developed first class nation.

So mana ada property crash...macam-macam ada tapi tiada property crash in malaysia...never will happen one, because we got superpm just like superman to keep the property market and macam-macam things under the matahari in malaysia to go up up and away!

up up and away... but dun know which way la...just need to see which way is going...

Yeah... I noted that current malls in melaka aren struggling with each other for business. And yet, new branches keep opening. I wonder how they sustain themselves.

I've seen several such places openning, closing, change management and repeat.  eg. Melaka mall.   Plaza melaka raya.

agreed that if the property market is still HOT HOT HOT, then speculators will be busy accumulating properties quietly if they are so sure that prices will increase 20%?30%? 100%??? Why would they wanna waste time telling people to jump in and become their competitors?

The gist of the article is prices will continue to go up, but at a slower pace. I've no problem with that, as 50-100% increase in prices over 2 years is not sustainable. But that doesn't mean the market will crash. Checked the prices of several properties just now ..... prices have continued to go up!
