of course, the property market surely slow down. i am a property owner, and of course i do not want this dilemma to happen, but based on this higher inflation condition, property slowdown is inevitable.

But, i dont think the slowdown will be serious, perhaps a minor effect. Since this higher inflation ( oil hike ) just begin, i guess it is still too early to predict as we dont know the BLR story still. To add some positive view, since there is a discount of stamp duty of up to 50% and the abolish of property tax, i believe these are the 2 points will give a positive impact onto it.

Building materials, is definitely soar in price as well. This will make a heavy impact of new development price. Forget the steels, bricks, wood, cements, just a PILING WORK work cost the developer a huge sum of money.

yes, i do refer to property tax, indeed which is also known as RPGT. i believe it is also being announced in newspaper quite some time ago.

Thanks

I really doubt this government can do it. RAW MATERIALS FOR BUILDING CONSTRUCTION is a big business. They cant even control the electricity tariff properly ( which TNB IS A GLC ), AND RIGHT NOW THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT building raw materials. CHILDISH GOVERNMENT.
