Pangong Tso is that lake where there’s border dispute between China and India.
I think the world prefers that every country respects one another and does not go and do something which jeopardises the peace between them and more countries surrounding them. Recently, there was this deadly clash between the troops of China and India in June. (click here to read details) and there were deaths. There were…

Unbelievable! One public listing. One company. Total valuation of US$225 billion
That one company is Jack Ma’s Ant Group. That listing is a simultaneous one in both Hong Kong and Shanghai. That estimated valuation is US$225 billion! (RM937 billion). If we want to have a sense of comparison, Toyota as a company has a valuation of around US$200 billion. (click here to read) This seemingly unbelievable…

Selling at a loss is definitely possible during uncertainty
Selling at a loss, would you? Every time people ask me about falling property prices, I ask them about their holding power. “Would you sell at a loss if you were not forced to do so by circumstances?” The answer is almost always a no unless of course you were selling because you wanted to…

A new billionaire emerges after a signature
Every year, over 200,000 marriages happen in Malaysia. Theoretically, we have over 400,000 happy people every year after they committed to be with one another for as long as they live, legally. Usually it involves signing a piece of important paper. On the other hand, we also have over 50,000 divorce cases every year. Theoretically,…

Singapore to Sydney properties? Buy, buy and buy.
With the current COVID-19 lockdown or partial lockdowns or even the slowly reopening, what happens if the buyers are super-wealthy ones? Where an extra property in Sydney and Melbourne is well, just an extra holiday home in another country? Both Sydney and Melbourne are property destination for many wealthy people from the region. (Yes, I…

Yes, they are BUYING land during a CRISIS
The go-getter usually gets what they want to get because they are always looking and looking and pounding on the right opportunities. This is the same for property developers in Malaysia. We continue to occasionally read about land buying before the COVID-19 hit us. Perhaps with the current Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO), we will…

Property market still in upbeat mood?
Note, I really do not share any enthusiasm for the property market currently. I love properties, that’s for sure. However, if I read any news saying that the expectations are that property prices are rising or even in the very near term, I would choose not to believe it until it happens. Nothing to rush…

WOW. Property markets ‘spring back to life.’
Please do not believe anyone who tells you that the Malaysian property market is going to spring back to action as soon as Movement Control Order is over. Well, at least until things normalise or we have some very targeted measures for the property market. For example, another round of Home Ownership Campaign (HOC) which…

Yeah, I give you 60% discount on your rental. (Someone famous)
I believe you are home when you read this article. Maybe even drinking your favourite cup of white coffee? It’s not the best of time now for home owners with tenants who face cut in monthly salary or worst still, job loss. What about for owners of retail lots and shops? The shops which are…

61% of the world’s women billionaires are in ASIA… (guess which country?)
Please do not guess the U.S. yeah. It’s not in Asia. Singapore is meanwhile a very small country, even if they do have quite a number of billionaires. Okay, it’s also not that hard to be a billionaire if they exchanged their SGD into Ringgit since it’s SGD1 to RM3.06 (as at 2h March 2020).…
