Her main claim was that data about property transactions are not readily available, and not that they are dubious (which is your claim). Take a look at this web-site: http://napic.jpph.gov.my/portal It would be helpful if she gives more specific examples of the kind of data that she is...

人之初，性本善 The seed of compassion is inherent in all human beings. We all have the potential for kindness and compassion. However evil spreads far more easily. It takes the form of anger, jealousy, hatred, etc. It moves so fast that it creates a very efficient vicious cycle. Edmund Burke once...

Indeed, the test of one's mettle is the ability and willingness to make key decisions at critical junctures. Nothing is 100% but one needs to weigh all possibilities and then act based on his assessment of probabilities (and other parameters such as affordability) instead of procastinating...

I feel that she is just talking down buying into Iskandar because she has missed the first few waves of buying and prices have moved beyond her comfort zone. Sour grapes in short. Her statements are at times nonsensical: "For starters, I think we are at a point where it is either too late or...
