Overnight Policy Rate
Malaysian economy and BNM

Overnight Policy Rate maintained at 2.75pct. Negative?

Central banks would always try to help the expansion of the economy. If the economy is slowing down, one possible way the central bank could encourage economic expansion is to reduce the interest rate. This makes it less attractive to put the money into bank and people may choose to invest those instead. With a lower interest rate, the businesses may also take this opportunity to borrow money and expand their business. People may also think it is a good time to invest into property for example. So, reducing the interest rate is one such measure.

Melaka International Cruise Terminal may be back!

My wife told me she wants to go on a cruise. I checked just before Covid-19 arrived. The price was okay. The choices were aplenty. Recently, I checked and realised that the choices are not many, prices are high and Malaysia is really not popular for people to go on a cruise. Many times, we have to fly to Singapore to do it. That’s really a very bad experience yeah. Fly to Singapore, get on a cruise, then cruise goes back to Singapore and fly back to KL? Haha. Does not seem like a cruising experience at all.

Penang International Airport expansion project starts 2023

A long time ago, some people said that instead of building KLIA, the government should just focus on expanding the Subang airport. Fortunately, the plan for KLIA proceeded because the Prime Minister then just went ahead. Haha. Today, KLIA is said to need future expansions too especially when we look at the sudden increase in passengers and suddenly everyone needed to wait for hours to pass the immigration.

MRT Putrajaya Line will be opening in less than 2 weeks!

I am super happy reading this news today. It meant that Klang Valley is becoming even more connected and it’s getting harder for people to use the excuse just to buy a new car. 🙂 I will choose to drive because I prefer the convenience. However, as everyone knows, the petrol subsidy days are coming to an end soon. I have no idea how it will be implemented but perhaps there would be a limit? Anyway, I have an Exora and a Persona. Perhaps national cars are given some advantage in getting the petrol subsidy? Haha. Let’s see.

Best Phase Forward: IJM LAND Breezily Launches The Next Two Phases Of Sierra Hijauan

The fifth (2E) and sixth (2H) phase launch of Sierra Hijauan is another feather in the cap that solidifies IJM Land’s reputation as one preeminent property developers in Malaysia. And given the scarcity of new landed, gated, and guarded projects with a green milieu within the coveted Ampang address, this puts Sierra Hijauan in good stead as a resort-style development with a focus on a balanced lifestyle.
