Carrie Law, CEO and Director of Juwai.com, the number one Chinese international real estate website and the exclusive international real estate partner to Chinese online giant Tencent, said: "Prime Minister Mahathir's comments discouraged all overseas buyers, not just Chinese, by injecting a shot of uncertainty into the market. What our data suggests is that the decline in buyers has not been so great as sometimes believed and that a recovery is very much underway. Our data shows Chinese buyers made 10-fold more inquiries on Malaysian property in September than in the same month last year. That is the largest growth rate we have seen yet this year," reports Focus Malaysia (18 October 2018).
