I think RPGT comes from Federal Ruling Govt?
Correct me if i am wrong. The state govt can impose its own RGPT if they wanted it. Of course they can brand it any name they like. Any state govt can also impose additional stamp duty as and when they like it. Nothing u can do about.
Selangor had imposed special ruling (e.g. 2 mil for condo for foreigner) which means they have the tendency to repeat it again in the future.
It is not about how many foreigner will buy, it is putting a FULL-STOP to foreigner is the scary part. When come to investment, i personally do not wish to see any ruling that potentially chase away foreigner not even 1%. Once foreigner delete Selangor in their radar, they will very likely delete it for very long time.
When foreigner invest in a country, they most probably will get advise from Consultant Firm and purchase decision are based on what the consultant recommendation. For a consultant is easy and do not wish to take too much risk. The consultant may just say 1 word. BUY in other part other than this or that state because of special ruling that not in favor to foreigner. Then that is it, it something forever or negative impact will last for very long time.
And yes, its my problem. Do as u like.
Cheers
