Not just building but end-financing too.
Loan application approvals are hard to come by? It’s the bank’s fault OR? You are not qualified for PR1MA because your income is higher than the ceiling income set earlier?

Bandar Rimbayu’s BIG FUN DAY was fun for my kids.
Branding as they say involve doing a lot of things that people remember you for, positively.

RM2.5 billion sales target? No sweat. As for branding….
Times are slow. It’s hard to sell. So, should developers postpone or still launch? I personally think that the number of units being launched is not lesser than previously.
