This opinion is not grounded in any sort of reality.

You think Malaysia is a Japan? Bolehland is a small fish dude.
Malaysia can easily crash despite some of the other larger economies not being affected, or at most suffering only a small blip. Shouldn't even compare with 1997 Asian crisis - at the time the debt was much less, and Mahadey used all our EPF money to bail out the troubled companies. This time though, all the money in EPF two times over isn't even enough to bail out Syed Mohktar nevermind other cronies.
Look at Spain. Look at Greece. Look at Vietnam.
Greece and Spain economy is in the toilet, but Germany is still going strong. England is recovering. US and China are still okay. Doesn't your theory say that all the big nations must be in trouble before the small nations get hurt?
Closer to home, Vietnamese real estate market just crashed 20% last year. Eh, how come? No effect to Malaysia one? USA didn't go bankrupt as well?
Interconnection is not always as it seems, you need to look at debt to gdp ratio. And Malaysian debt - household, government and corporate, is very very high.
boss, i agree our debt is insanely high. as soon as pru13 was over, it sh!ts me to know that our big man is pushing for a RM1trillion transformation plan!
while our debt is high, do you have any idea where the funds are coming from? internal or external.
if it's external, surely the big boys out there would need some sort of collateral as well, right?
else if bolehland go bust, how would they recover their $$$. any ideas boss?

Prices has gone down from subsales right? Or are you still denying it?
Why look at developers? They have strong holding power. Stronger than you, anyway, since they have a fat profit margin.
By the time developers start reducing price from launch price - you will be in too much deep sh1t to worry, as a speculator.

i agree some props have come down in terms of pricing from the 2011 Q4/ 2012 Q1 peak. but there are also various subsales pricing which is still continuing their uptrend.
think the key would be good versus mediocre prop.

Eventually it will come down but the question is when? How much patience you have and how much bullets you have when it collapse. To me is like catching the big fish after waited the whole night. It might not be this nioght but for sure one night will come for you to catch the big fish. You can be instant millionaire when you enter at the right time!
right timing is soooooooooooooo crucial. while prices may come down, the big question is would it be down enough to compensate the purchaser of the time they intended to buy in the first place. this usually only benefit short term and not long term, right?

Well up to u on what to believe as i cant force u. The agents that called me have ready buyers. But i wasnt interested coz i know the value of good props can go even higher.
i do believe what you're holding could potentially be high in demand props. one of my props which has VP'ed more than 10 years ago is regenerating multiple enquiries. when the agents called me as well, i questioned them why are they calling me for an old prop. they told me it's because of market demand. but this applies to only selected props lah. not all. so for agents to bugger you, that must mean you hit all good props in your portfolio. OR all your props have recently VP'ed perhaps?

Already stated how many times already?
Interest rates rise (may happen), drying up of subsales market burying speculators(already happening), falling rental yields scaring away buy and hold investors (already happened) and bank tightening credit due to worries on prop (happening as we speak).
Put all these things together, and you have recipe for a bubble burst.
So which of these 4 things are completely not happening in your opinion?
believe it or not boss, i was hoping and hoping BLR rises. not just 1% but 2%!!! kekeke. i built in my reserves but it didn't happen.
but due to sensitivity issues, might i add on, in the event BLR increases, who would be the likely parties that is going to be the most affected?
i mean in broader picture in terms of demographics and ...r*c*s. would it be because of this, the gomen would hesitate to make this difficult decision?
to me, it's a bit similiar to petrol subsidy decision. tough choices.
