1st. Luncheon Talk - Market outlook for 2009

The Purpose of the Malaysian Institute of Estate Agents (MIEA) Education and Training division is to provide continuous professional development for MIEA members as well as real estate practitioners at large in Malaysia. It also serves to provide information or guidelines for the general public with regards to buying and selling of real estate in Malaysia through the various trainings, talks and seminars we organized.

The last Luncheon Talk we organized was held on the 18 June 2009 at The Stadec, Segambut. Around 30 participants mainly from the real estate industry attended the talk delivered by Mr. Ho Chin Soon, who is a well known and sort after speaker. The talk highlighted the impact of the current global financial crisis on the property sector in Malaysia, the current trend in the commercial, residential and industrial sectors, and more importantly, when is the recovery in the property sector expected.

The Luncheon Talk was also a platform for sideline discussions among participants to catch up on the latest issues, market trends amongst others.

Our next Luncheon Talk will be on the 20 August 2009. The topic will be about Property blogs - how to create and maintain your own successful property blog. It is still at the planning stage and will be announced once its ready.
