Opportunity Always Available for Those Who Look for It

People always talk about negative news about the economy especially with the coming of GST implementation on 1st April 2015. There are continuous reports of bad property market all over the country. The property market is very slow especially in Klang valley and Penang for condo and apartment market. There are less new development launch and the sales rates are slower compared to last year. There are also report of condo and apartment being auction.

However, there is always a good place to invest if you look for it. Then, you have to readjust your strategy to fit your requirement. There are still a huge potential in IRDA: more entertainment centers being launch and to be developed in IRDA, Pengerang Oil and Gas hub go on as planned. 1st tanker to dock at Pengerang has been reported. Potential workforce growth is getting stronger in IRDA and Pengerang RAPID as reported in

Bright outlook for oil and gas in Pengerang

"The number of job vacancies in the state was increasing yearly, with 129,921 positions offered last year compared to 128,721 positions in 2013 and 105,993 in 2012, he said.

“In the next five years, we will be creating another 100,000 jobs, with half of them coming from the oil and gas sector.""

You should read until the end of the article:

"Vidyanathan added that with the rapid development and investments coming into the state, Johor was expected to overtake Selangor and Penang soon."

Think of the growth rate. It is bigger than the Selangor and Penang economy size. Thus, there are huge potential in the southern state.


But, we must always cautious in our investment. Although a report mention condo and apartment market is sustainable in Johor Bahru, I would prefer the safer market segment which is landed property. And among the landed property, I would focus on gated guarded houses and shop lots. There are good reasons for my choices.
