Bandar Malaysia i.e ex sg besi airport is available for affordable home.
That place, as long the hsr is not settled, noting will happen.
Whether hsr to start first or property development to start is where the govt need to sort it out.
Hope the following is not another syiok sendiri talk ....

My sincere 2cents:
Those property influencers / gurus sure will say property price will be steady and grow etc, and they will show their portfolio to convince others.
But the fact is, many people that tries to be like the influencers, fail to do so because they are not as specialized as these influencers do. They don't have the time or energy to spend like those influencers to get where they are today. "But follow buy sure no harm ma", yeah sure, provided that you can hold that long.
Some influencers are already holding high positions and earning well from their day jobs. "Influencing" is mostly their side hustle until they got to that level of audience.
But regular joes surely can't do that. And when properties / economy crash, many sure will suffer.
Fact is, not all property are poor so is their price. But not all are good or increasing either.
When you Buy To Invest, it already defeat the purpose of "accommodation". What more of those that buy affordable housing to "invest" or to "rent"?
Somemore, when you see the influencers start to deviate from their initial "purpose" - i.e. When Ads / Segue / Shoutout / Referral / Affiliate start to come in, and their video quality change, you know you are now the product.
Influencers are normally paid by developers to promote the development.
Developers will only promote why their development is 'good' and the influencer will cont with how you can
make quick money.
Many novice investors will then only look at the quick money side and seldom the development.
Can't fault the influencers cos they also have to cari makan. The real culprit is actually the developer. If the development sells by itself, influencers are not necessary.
