Actually I'm not saying that kicimiao that unable to buy house are being given loan by bank. I'm actually saying kicimiao that bank able to give loan based on gross salary up to 70% (I remember last few years, the rules is quite relax). They think they can tide over for 1 year (able to flip in 1 year time). Unfortunately this kicimiao underestimate the property market and now is eating the kicimiao alive. I think cash flow for this type of kicimiao is quite bad.
Another thing is for uncle/aunty, if they pay cash, but cash stuck in property, how to survive? THey think that after VP can earn. But now stuck. Uncle/Aunty suddenly got disease need money leh. So where to get? Need to sell property fast fast lor. You know la, old people many penyakit one la. One of the penyakit is sendiri cari one that is invested in property and now property downturn.

That is a general assumption on old people after buying property no more money left n many penyakit. You may be right but u got to be realistic, how many of them? U got real data to prove? Can I say your parents also full of penyakit n now every month needs lots of money? Not necessary right???
U go out n see your self how many this type of uncle aunty really usee up their coffin money buy property to flip...
kicikmiow flippers if one year ago buying into property stretch up to 70% LTV. Today some if them may have higher income. Their property can go for rental play even though cannot cover installment but at least cover the loan interest or partially. Change their life style is easier than force them to sell the property n get into financial trouble as selling low n still need to pay bank the difference.
Moreover, some still can thick face go ask help from parents ti tide them thru few years. Their life style could be affected n we malaysians will be forced back to live like the olden days. Bersusah susah dulu, bersenang senang kemudian. May be 5 years down the road, they ll feel lucky that they had bought that properties. Those who now sit n laugh at them may fall into the category of bersenang senang dulu, bersakit sakit kemudian.
