QUOTE(desmond2020 @ Apr 30 2025, 12:13 PM) yes, that time housing loan interest is damn high, that is why property price back then remain stagnant or little growth The real high jump for property price is Najib time.until after 1998, the number pumping begin Serious, he is devil. Free tax + 0 down payment + 1.5% to 1.75% bank interest. Go office n sign paper, you own a property already. I believe those who are age around 40 to 50 with a lot of property are buying on Najib time. Those miss out, omg...... |

QUOTE(Gargamel_gibson @ Apr 30 2025, 11:35 AM) House yes. Food and services maybe, I argue that it has increased but not to the scale of other global prices. Say watching a movie for example, it's still cheap in Malaysia compared to China or Singapore or even Bangkok. it is always relative to salary not global prices.I remember chicken rice being RM1.80 in the early 90s. The same shop(obviously different owner) now in my housing area, cost like rm11 now. about 600% increase. |

In the past my parents used to say how lucky the current generation is. I told them my monthly expenses for children daycare, bus fare, education etc can buy 6 terrace houses in PJ in the early 90s. My yearly insurance payment is equivalent to a yearly 1 PJ house loan installment in the early 90s. They never dared to complain after that. |

The 2008–2009 U.S. stock crisis led to the launch of Quantitative Easing (QE) to stimulate the economy, which eventually diluted the value of money and contributed to a spike in property prices in Malaysia. |
