KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s property market is poised to remain stable in 2024, followed by sustained growth in the next three years, bolstered by various initiatives of the MADANI government under Budget 2024, said Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming.
The minister said the property market has demonstrated significant growth and resilience, with individual property counters experiencing up to 600 per cent growth in share price appreciation.
