Effects from a zero GST for typical Malaysian households

When the GST becomes zero in a week’s time, how much would we be able to save from what we spend on a daily basis? I roughly calculated. I could probably save anything from RM2-RM4. Let’s not talk about big ticket items yeah. Just the usual breakfast in a franchised mamak, lunch in a usual…

How much could property prices in Penang grow to? What about Greater KL? Perhaps to the government, how much should it rise to? Perhaps some form of control instead of just leaving it fully to the market forces of demand and supply? The reason is because sometimes the numbers from overseas look scary. One such…

Yes, property prices may be lower without GST. Buying decisions to change?

Anyone here delayed signing their Sales & Purchase agreement after they heard about the GST becoming zero in less than 2 weeks’ time? Actually, GST does not affect only the property market. There are chatters that car prices may inch upwards when the Sales & Service Tax (SST) returns. Here’s an article in paultan.org The…

I think by now people who read property related news would have heard that Pakatan Harapan intends to build 1 million affordable homes within 2 terms. Roughly, that’s within 10 years. Some would say that this is a lofty goal because this comes up to 100,000 homes every year, all within the affordable segment. Here’s…

‘It’s not easy to get a good price for a 1,000 sq ft condo in Penang currently,’ says my close friend, Mr. VS who’s a real estate negotiator in Penang. (If you want to buy properties in Penang, let me know and I will connect you to him) He added that he based his views…

Malaysia should have 1 million affordable homes built within 2 terms. That’s our new government’s promise in its manifesto. My belief is the same regardless of the government but I think with the federal government in control of many state governments, it should be easier to work as a team. Remember, this is for Malaysians…

Need positive stories, quotes and even videos? As at 11th May 2018, there are a lot of these on Facebook of Malaysians. For non-Malaysians, it’s time to have at least a few Malaysian friends. Haha. Okay, coming back to business. The Malaysian stock market will end higher in less than a month or perhaps longer…

Our 4th Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad launched Cyberjaya in 17 May 1997. Yes, as at yesterday (10th May 2018), he is now our 7th Prime Minister. I think if Tun were to be officiating any events there in the near future, it would give a real sense of deja vu to him and everyone who worked…

A different purpose for Rent-to-Own. Different from just affordable home.

What’s the main difference between Rent-to-Own (RTO) versus affordable homes? Why not just build homes which are below RM200,000 so that most of everyone could afford to buy one? The difference is RM34,000. Okay, for those scratching your heads right now, that difference is the downpayment plus all the other fees. The image shows the…

An article by South China Morning Post on the morning of 9th May 2018 starts with this sentence, “Malaysia’s general election on Wednesday, which has highlighted political uncertainty in the country, may crimp the confidence of Chinese investors, sparking an investor flight towards Singapore property, at least in the short term, analysts said.” (Well, hopefully…

When I started travelling to Singapore for meetings 20 years ago, there were just one choice of flight. The ‘partnership’ of MAS / SIA. The price was also exorbitant. If I remember correctly, around RM800 per return trip. These days, I could fly 4 return trips and still have change for many lattes in Starbucks.…
