From what I observed, 1 bedder demand is pretty strong not just in Malaysia, but in overseas as well. Especially in the city close to the workplace ..
Human nowadays are becoming more self-centered, unfortunately, most of the time glued to the gadgets, less interaction between humans face to face ... Privacy is another factor pushing many young couples or single to rent 1 bedder or studio close to their workplace ...

Not just that, there is an increasing trend in MY that locals prefer to stay in 1bedder or studio when they are not married (couples, few years after graduate). I can vouch for that because for my 1 bedder, I have been renting to >5 different locals for the past few years, there is demand in this segment.

not robertson, lower grade than robertson...
rental is sub-2k
Mine observation is studio/1bedder's rental between 1-2k is the most liquid, as they are supported by local demand as well (on top of demand from mid-ranged budget expats)

usually stay 1 year, some 2 years.
None bought the unit, I am still renting it out with minimal idle period (<1 month) between tenants

It depends ... It can be quite appealing to investors who are into rental game.
I sold one studio in the city quite easily last year, matched my asking price.
The buyer is an investor as well.
