Malaysia life is not easy for an average joe. Fresh grad pay in city area around 2 to 3k makan gaji with car and insurance commitment not easy. For those staying with parent ok la can save a bit. I found a lot member here thought buying house is an investment. Market value or paper base increment doesn't mean anything. If the unit doesn't give return which means is liability. Most of the time first house is for own stay preparing for your future family. 5yrs back bought my landed freehold 200k at puchong. With some renovation and now +-150% increment. Is one of my commitment. Even if I sell but still can't cover new freehold landed. My 2nd house going to ready next yr. Hopefully can fetch good return so that I can get another. But still I'm a bit sceptical about next yr market.
