Malaysia “best place” to invest

According to one expert, Malaysia offers overseas property buyers the best investment opportunities in the South-East Asian property market. Marsha Lu, who is the head of the legal, diligence and compliance department at Property Frontiers, claimed that while Malaysia has not been as popular as Thailand in the past, the latter has experienced political instability recently. Arguing that Malaysia is presently “the best place to invest”, Ms Lu said that the country has recovered well from the Far East financial crisis in the 1990s, compared with many other states in the region.

Canterbury farm prices have risen to $1.6 million from a median of $1.3m over the same period a year ago, although this has softened from $1.95m in the three months to January.
