Malaysians! Wise up! Use this power to bring property developers down to their knees!

BUKIT LANJAN: Believe it or not! It’s down to 'buy one free one' for link houses in Penang!

It’s perhaps the first ever “buy one free one” for link houses in Malaysia and it’s happening in Penang! And it is for completed units!

You better believe it is happening and it is in Penang, coming from a reputable property developer that has projects nationwide.

“The ‘buy one free one offer’ is being promote by word of mouth in Penang. The developer is not publicly advertising, for obvious (egoistic or embarrassing) reasons,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said.

He said the domestic and global economic slowdown had naturally created the opportunity for consumers to unite and force down property prices.

“Supply has outstripped demand. That’s the power of supply and demand, creating a glut in the property market, forcing developers to reduce prices to sell their houses,” he added.

THE HOUSING MARKET IN PENANG TODAY
By Lim Chee Han
January, 2015
With an abundance of newly built high-rise condominiums, is Penang facing a property glut?
Malaysia’s population crossed the 30 million mark in February 2014. According to the Population and Housing Census 2010, about three in 10 people fall in the 20-40 years old age group – the one most likely to be firsttime home buyers. By 2020, that group is projected to grow to 11.3 million. In Penang, the current estimate for this age group is at 0.6 million, or 36% of the state population. The average property price in Penang currently stands at RM336,521. Even with the 50% stamp duty cut, middle income earners with two dependents can only afford houses priced at RM300,000 and below1,and looking at the current national average price for all types of properties, RM300,000 is well below the average (Figure 1) … for more, go to http://penangmonthly.com/article.aspx?pageid=2794&name=the_housing_market_in_penang_today

Syed Razak, who is Gerakan’s nominee to contest N.37 Bukit Lanjan in the coming 14th General Election (GE14), urged Malaysians nationwide, especially those in the Klang Valley, to continue and step up the pressure by refraining from buying properties.

“If a major property developer can be forced to start selling landed property in Penang at ‘buy one, free one’, the continuous pressure will also force others to do the same.

“Prolong the pressure as long as possible. Refrain from buying. Rent first. Property prices will then crash down to affordable levels,” he added.

Syed Razak said: “This is the best opportune time for Malaysians to teach property developers in Malaysia a lesson they will never ever forget.

“It’s time for Malaysian house buyers to hit back hard on property developers who have been profiteering for decades, rising prices to obscene levels.

“Keep up the pressure on property developers for as long as possible and we Malaysians will surely benefit."

The recommendation on Thursday by the Norwegian Central Bank, which manages the fund, is potentially the biggest advance yet for a global fossil-fuel divestment campaign that has been promoted on college campuses and by environmental activists. It could also be a setback for the proposed initial public offering of the Saudi national oil company, known as Aramco, since the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund, the world’s largest, would be a potentiall...

BUKIT LANJAN: DOSH and all related construction authorities must buck up

BUKIT LANJAN: DOSH and all related construction authorities must buck up It is quite obvious that something is not very right with the way the Department of Occupational Health and Safety (DOSH) and all related construction authorities are monitoring work safety at construction sites. There have been quite a number of tragic and non-tragic incidents at construction sites recently and yet accidents continue to recur despite DOSH’s claims that it has set up safety committees to tighten inspections. Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said: “There was the woman who was crushed to death by a crane hook that fell on her Perodua Kelisa from 20 storeys up. “This was followed by the collapse of the KL Eco City pedestrian bridge that claimed a life. And now a crane has collapsed at the Bandar Damansara Perdana (BDP) construction site.” Syed Razak said such tragic and non-tragic mishaps at construction would not occur or could have been avoided if high and competent constr...
