Read few articles about property investment in Malaysia.

The next 10 years will be the golden era for property investment in Malaysia. It is no longer the same as in the past, as it is changing fast, and has become commercialised, globalised and professionalised.

What do you think?

Too difficult to say at this moment since things are very unsure in the world and also here.

If I tell u that:
-Local owned factories shutting down one-by-one.
-Foreign corp cutting production or shifting production out of M'sia.
-Old farmers selling their land, cashing the gain & retire.
-Manager grade income cannot afford a double storey link house in KL/PJ.
-50% of the high-end condos in KL are vacant.

Would u still believe the next 10 yrs M'sia property/economy will boom?!

I actually have a bit more faith on Najib's administration.....he has made the right initiatives and hired the right guys for the important jobs......but he will need time to weed out political liabilities in his party.....

Once that happens, watch the country and its prop market fly....

Najib doesn't even have the support of his DPM and many of the UMNO power brokers, let alone weed out any liabilities.

Residential landed homes in very selected areas will remain highly desirable and thus have the greatest capital appreciation for the foreseeable future i.e. Desa Park City, Damansara Heights, Bangsar Baru, TTDI, etc.

The rest of the second-tier and lower end properties will continue to stagnate => this will be the only properties the average joe in Malaysia will be able to afford.

Am not into politics so not gonna pretend I know much...........

so bellion u vested in 1st tier residential landed props? 

what else are the "very selected areas"? 

oh really? Thanks for the tips....sorry, I'm new at this....

I am pretty involved in the SME community hence my take on the political implications on the business scene in Malaysia.

Yes, I still have a house for investment purposes in the klang valley although I concentrate more on overseas properties.

iproperty or an active malaysian property forum would be a good starting point for you.

Ah that explains a lots......... 

hmmm you must have had plenty of bullets to play with........... 

u know ang moh, japanese, korean, taiwanese, chinese like to go pub, bar, ktv etc,  it will be no fun with so many raid (JAIS, police etc) ,. today no new licence (and renewal) was issued in KV. most of them are operating illegally.. (how safe do u think), no profer fire safety, ventilation etc, even the renovation is also koyak coz the boss act hit and run strategy, no one will spend $$ to renovate nice decor. (also affect ID, contractor, furnishing income).  all my oversea fren look down on our nite entertainment coz it is so run down and not safe. today our niteclubs are worse than 20 years ago eg deluxe, bintang palace are so run down. coz the boss know it is not "permanent". Even our genting also look so old... all my oversea fren laughed at me after they compare to Sg, Macau, Cambodia, Vietnam, Phil 's casino.. so now u know why less jap, angmo come to KL??  it is ok for bangla, pakistan, indian, middle east coz they dun go to bars (they oni go to mamak stalls and spend rm2 whole nite).. so how to contribute to msia economy? i also noticed kl shops are closed earlier (except mamak stalls) and not many ppl like to go out, unlike 20-30 years ago --all nite long!!

u still live like katak bawah tempurung??  did u go often to BKK, Jakarta and survey?   (i m frequent there)
their GDP per capita lower than msia doesnt mean they are poorer (their rich pop is much bigger than msia) oni their total population is big (indo is 100x msia) so it appear to be poorer. same as China, no one dare to say China is poor, even the angmo (but their per capital is lower than msia).

to be more open like china will make msia more properous! if not, msia will become....(u know i know lah)
if u complain u cant afford a house why not complain  the govt are so conservative??

At times is not about being positive, its about being realistic.

At present time property market is at its peek point. These days many people want to buy and sell their property and in this real estate companies are doing great job.

I heard from an agent, not much transaction recently. Market is slowing down for sub sale...any comment is welcomed..
