Forgot to mention that the rental market is also slow at the moment as the number of senior management expats requiring accommodation has fallen drastically due to the slump in the O&G industry, as well as about 20 companies having left Malaysia in the past couple of years. The most popular housing seems now to be flat sharing to spread the cost and properties renting at RM3k and below. There is a glut in the number of rental properties available so charges are being pressed down in many cases.
