Thanks! I read something about this as well...
I dont understand why other countries cant do the same as Malaysia? Is there any pros and cons between using foreign reserves vs raising interest rates?
Just trying to understand why other countries prefer not to use foreign reserve and vice versa for Malaysia...
No politicians like to admit existence of any bubble until the crisis is uncontainable. Historically, kangkong gomen tend to act too little and too late.

Ok... I agree that in some cases there will be joint buyer... but that also means there is no bubble yet because still can afford? I mean end of the day even if it is joint purchase there wont be any loan repayment problem....
Also... I always have this question and maybe discussed before.... I think bank not so stupid... as long as bank can approve the loan... whether it is low end or high end flipper... as long as bank approve means no problem... it doesnt make sense a bank can blindly approve loan to someone who possibly cant pay in future...
What do you think of this? If we continue to have new buyer with bank approved loans.... what bubble are we talking about? Dont compare to US...I think our banks more diligent than US bank...

and furthermore after US subprime crisis... I think bank will learn from experiences and prevent this from happening...
Dibs, discount, zero entry cost, 35 years tenure, etc allowed otherwise previously and currently disqualified borrowers to borrow. Wonder how do we classify this group of borrowers now?

U try to give many worst case scenario...
I try to provide positive points la ok?
What if the flippers continue to flip... u say if reach 1mil then left a small pool?
What if actually those who flipped earlier already earn 250k or 300k and they actually have that cushion to absorb it? Think about it...

I am not creating a scenario... this is a real life example I see... started with 250k property and slowly flipped and going higher until 1mil property.... u forgot this pool of ppl?
From earlier success and elevated confident level, these flippers are more likely than not to pour back their profit and capital, borrow more to flip and anticipating of sure profit, spend more on luxury items. If previous stock and gold market is of any precedent, this group of flippers are the most aggressive.
