NPLs for RESIDENTIAL properties at 8 year-high. Worrying sign for 2020?
Non-Performing-Loan (NPL) happens when the borrowers fail to repay their borrowings and the banks decided that getting it back voluntarily may not be impossible. They will have to classify these loans as NPLs while at the same time they try to recover them in the near future. NPLs for Malaysian banks have always been on…

HOC’s success is not successful enough? Unsold continue going up?
Recently, we heard about the success of the Home Ownership Campaign (HOC) and how it has helped to push up the number of transactions in the property market. The earlier article here: HOC sold more than targeted numbers I actually consider that as good news. Apparently, some believe the HOC is still not successful enough.…

Slow, slow, slow. No grow. Property market Malaysia in 2020.
A good friend who’s a prominent property expert asked me about my opinion about an article in edgeprop.my He said that perhaps real estate analysts should be more positive for Malaysia property market 2020.

Lower threshold does not mean more will suddenly buy.
In my recent talk in Singapore (November 2019), a number of them were asking about the new RM600,000 threshold for foreigners to buy a property in Malaysia. I reminded them that it is NOT for any unsold property. It is only for overhang properties. That’s unsold properties after key handover for 9 months or more.…

1 Million affordable homes. I like. Just note that quality is important too.
By the way, I have little doubts that when we work very hard towards achieving a goal, we will usually be able to achieve it. Or at least pretty near to it. Shoot for the stars, if you do not hit it, at least you hit the clouds. Good enough. Malaysia has a problem every…
