Chew pig bones does not mean a job nobody likes to do.

Chew pig bones means something difficult to do, and the return is poor ( not much meat ). Yeah buying property may be a difficult job, but the return is mostly good.

Obviously they will open in Sg first before KL.

With the world's highest concentration of millionaires packed into Sg, why would they be so stupid to give Sg a miss and pick KL instead?

On the contrary, US is now rising.

Japan may be the next Spain/Greece in a couple of years.

They exited Singapore before. http://blog.omy.sg/jerome/2013/02/08/the-s...comment-page-1/

Malaysia is now the no.2 or no.3 luxury market in Southeast Asia with estimated growth rates being quite good. You can read a recent article here >>> http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/22/fashion/...Power.html?_r=0

A simple illustration of the upper society in Malaysia and their countless luxury events could be seen in luxury-based magazines such as Malaysia Tattler and Prestige. Get one copy and see the people.

Interestingly, Indonesia is now the "hottest" luxury market in Southeast Asia. You can see the official forum of luxury shopping in Jakarta here >>> http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1626298

There are more investment going into indon natural resources and manufacturing, both sectors are stronger and bigger than here.

property bubble makes people think they are "rich" therefore they spend on luxury items ... Logical?

easy money/credit does that, bubble only magnified it.

especially easy payment scheme ...
no down payment ...
payment differed 12 months ...

I think they go in tandem but one doesnt necessarily cause the other. Like the other reply said its easy credit that makes people 'feel' rich

It is not logical, it is a fact proven by psychologists. Forgot where I saw the source previously. Try google.

Still didn't answer my question leh.... Prestigious or not?

Want compare to those few that commutes to the majority that drive to work meh? Full parking outside LRT station comparable to the number of vehicles that pass by Jalan Loke Yew every morning ah? You think you only Cheras guy ah?? Or just migrate here then anyhow claim sendiri Cheras guy ah?

Good if you have no regrets la, hopefully you really benefited to refute what I saw at a certain new condo la...



Keyword: If it happens.

In short the current property pricing boom was due to speculation.

Critical signs of bubble... what bout critical signs of inflation ??????????


Petrol up, sugar up, toll up, GST up! Everything will only go up.

Keep living in fantasy properties will plunge to dirt cheap prices...

Minor correction maybe but not prices back in 5 - 10 years.

"Bukit kiara properties Tong warns measures to cure speculation will slow down the property market which is not good when increasing the supply of property should be encouraged. The likely scenario is a sharp spike in price once the market rebounds."


As i have said repeatedly, there is a SHORTAGE.

Shortage? Go do abit of homework around Kiara and see how many units are up for sale and rent now.

The new pricing for upcoming projects are kinda Spectacular. I wonder why....

Its also quite shocking to note the number of price increases across board this year from food to parking to clothes, etc. I think its complete bollocks for Bank Negara to say that inflation is only 3%.

I wonder how much the developers have paid you.

It has already started.. just not bubble big enough.. and just so silent..inflation..how many percent not more than 10 percwnt per item ..

The speculators after inflation does not affect them all wat..they bought it around 430 then selling off at 780k.. 350k profit.. inflation got affect them ah my friend...

if inflation is so hard to cope/ affect them.. they shouldnot bought those propwrties at first place.. coz everytime the properties change hands.. legal fees.. stamp duty loan intetest.. snd etc surely will further increase the selling price true bo..coz they wanted to factor in.. DIBS is the tool of speculation...u understand bo..

inflation of of house hold items of a few cents and further made out to few hundref ringgit per month is so hard to cope what not a property which is 350k extra.. just to help these flippers to stuff their bank account full..

Property speculators are largely responsible to the price increase.. they have tarnish the markey becoz of greed and still denying it... they artifically poison the market with price of property which is meant for years to come say like selling at the price 10 years to come or worst will never come.. coz even flippers dont buy back the same price they sold..

There is a shortage - of affordable housing. There is an oversupply of high-priced condos. Building more high end condos will not solve the shortage.

Looking at all those threads and replies, i realised that i previously way undersestimated the "demands" for prop investment. I was right, with many people here, that the price spikes were due to investment speculation. However, I never realised until recently that how ignorant these so called investors are on the prop investment knowledge. Everywhere I see,

"Wah, invest prop make so much lah!"
"This one can invest or not ?"
"Prop price can go up only nia"
"This one sure go up"

Come on lah, at least learn how to evaluate lah. If can't calculate loan interest, principal remains, rental yield, how can one evaluate ? Many masters already stopped buying or buy only when there is a good deal. All those half cooked can't wait to jump in.
