Melaka property investment? It is not the top 4 property investment destination in Malaysia but opportunities are definitely available. I would love to own a place there actually. Let’s hope some opportunities open up in the near future. Of course, I need to get ready the $$$ too. In fact, investment wise, it looks pretty safe to me, based on the overall unsold unit numbers. Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Idris Haron said that there are a total of 1,163 units of residential and commercial properties in Melaka which have yet to be sold-to-date.

Oh dear. I seriously think we have to start knowing that we are not to believe everything in Facebook or even Whatsapp. Well, first of all, the unsold units which contributed to the overall ‘oversupply’ are NOT going to cause the property market to burst, even if oversupply means a bubble is forming. This was an earlier article: We need more homes actually, then why oversupply?
