In recent years, the number of Malay property buyers have rapidly increased as more have started to take advantage of properties specifically targeted for this segment of the population.
With many Malay property influencers as well as the government encouraging this segment of buyers to become more active in the sector, the number of buyers has been growing steadily. Some of these property influencers include bloggers who provide a vast array of information on various property developments.
Social media sites like Gila Hartanah, a blog site authored by FAR Capital Sdn Bhd CEO Faizul Ridzuan, have garnered hundreds of thousands of followers. Gila Hartanah Facebook page has managed to attract nearly 120,000 followers.
“The number of potential Malay buyers and investors following the Malay property influencers is mind blowing,” says property investor, speaker and author Ahyat Ishak.
