MPI SUPPORTS iPROPERTY.COM MALAYSIA’S INAUGURAL PUBLICATION FEATURING MALAYSIA’S TOP PROPERTY DEVELOPERS

With a rapidly growing tourism industry, a stable economy and very low property prices, foreign investors have their eyes on Malaysia for its amazing potential. To further boost the property
industry and to attract more foreign investment to the country, iProperty.com Malaysia, the nation’s leading No. 1 property and real estate website, will be launching a high quality illustrative coffee table publication which will feature the most prominent and renowned developers in the country.

The publication, entitled Malaysia Top Developers, planned to be launched in January 2012, has since gained favourable response from developers and also attracted the support of Malaysia
Properties Incorporation (MPI), a government organisation set up under the Economic Planning Unit to drive investments in real estate into Malaysia.

Shaun Di Gregorio, Chief Executive Officer of the iProperty Group said, “It’s such an honour to have MPI show their support to jointly promote this unique publication with us. This maiden venture not only complements our government’s efforts to bring international focus on Malaysian properties but also the opportunity to give due recognition to the nation’s top respected developers.”

He added that rental yields and capital growth figures rate well amongst today’s emerging markets and a new spurt of corporate investments via investor friendly government policies have boosted Malaysia’s economy to new levels. This, together with a booming tourism industry and the creation of new luxury resorts is creating an exciting property investment climate in Malaysia.

“As a company that constantly strives to work towards enhancing the experience of property buyers and investors, we saw a tremendous and untapped potential in having such a
publication. With so many world-class developers in the country, it is timely that we capture clear descriptions on signature developments by these property developers and provide discerning property investors the peace-of-mind when looking for a property to invest in Malaysia,” answered Di Gregorio when asked how the idea for the publication was mooted.

iProperty.com Malaysia will also be creating a microsite on the book directly on the company’s website –http://TopDevelopers.iProperty.com.my where keen readers can purchase and download a copy online. Only a total of 10,000 copies, estimated to be sold at RM 99, will be available at all major bookstores in Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong. The publication will also be made available at local hotels, business lounges and other popular locations with high traffic flow from January 2012.
