US$30mil Singapore property? It’s okay, the property is a nice one.

Some people say property is an investment. Some people say first property is NOT an investment. Some people say better rent and not buy because renting is cheaper. Well, over 40% of richest Malaysians are property related. Read here for the latest update. Secondly, when wealthy people travel or when they have decided to stay longer in some places, they will choose to BUY a property.

Don’t we wonder why even after some people are so wealthy, they still buy a property? Why do they still need to buy a property and think of it as an investment? Don’t we wonder why they did not rent instead since it’s cheaper? If they rented, they could keep moving to nice places every other year. If they bought, they would have to stay at the same place every day, every week and every year… Yet, they bought. Here’s that one latest story about a SGD30 million (RM93 million) property.

Stop debating about whether property is the best investment

What we should do instead is to earn so much more than enough to buy a property. We should be wealthy enough so that property investment need not be a heavy decision. It could be just another decision, an easy one too. Let’s see when can I visit Singapore again and enjoy the BOTANICAL GARDEN. It’s a nice place by the way, just that weather in Singapore is like Malaysia too; hot and humid. Haha. Let’s keep hoping everything will become normal again sooner than later.
