n my opinion, with the change in gov- ernment in the country, it will take a while for the new government to settle down and formulate new pol- icies. Thus we anticipate that many investors may adopt a wait-and-see “Iattitude from now until the end of the year. However, selected properties for own stay in strategic locations with good connectivity would do okay. Nevertheless, I believe tourism properties will likely continue to do well in the current market because tourism is a recession proof industry. This is particularly applicable to Melaka, Penang and Sabah where more than 50% of tourists are locals. A typical example would be a family of four with RM2,000 travel budget could have a very comfortable 3 days 2 nights holiday in Melaka. Coming back to real estate investment, I foresee that from now till end of the year, the market provides a good ‘opportunity win- dow’ to property investors or buyers to hunt for value deals. For investment purposes, I recommend tourism real estate products, especially properties with good lease man- agement. Melaka, Penang and Sabah are in a better position amongst others. With the new government, we hope that the ‘Visa free’ travel for Chinese tourists will be implemented to boost tourist arrivals from China. We also hope that the new government YONG TAI BHD TAI YONG could encourage and incentivise more airlines to fl y from Melaka to overseas.” Headline RIGHT TIME IS NOW MediaTitle The Edge Financial Daily Date 06 Jul 2018 Language English Frequency Daily Circulation 4,549 Readership 13,647 Section TheEdgeProperty.com Color Full Color Page No 1,4,6,8,10,12,14 ArticleSize 6671 cm² AdValue RM 73,124 Journalist N/A PR Value RM 219,372
