Maximum rental increase only 5 percent BUT…

I read this earlier but I was also guilty of not reading the details. When I first read this news about rental increase, it says that current President of the United States, President Biden will call for a limit of 5 percent to the annual rent increase. The reason is because many voters are struggling with high rental and they need help as soon as possible.

Financial News: Your monthly mortgage and other loan repayments will increase

I think this removes away the typical chatter that because there are potential for rates to move up in that one particular world currency, so people prefer to buy that currency and thus ringgit is under pressure all the time.

Yes, it’s Tesla. The brand without a single petrol engined car. The brand which has just 4 models and is able to dominate the sales chart of EVs all over the world… until 2021.
