Malaysia ranks sixth as most-preferred destination in the world for Chinese real estate buyers last year, based on Juwai IQI's Top 10 Chinese Buyer Picks Report for 2019, surpassing the United Kingdom (7th place), Vietnam (8th place) and Singapore (11th place), reports The Sun Daily (15 May 2020). Chinese buyers' enquiries on residential properties in Malaysia have increased by 40.2 per cent in 2019 compared with 2018. "Malaysia has long been a favourite investment choice for Chinese buyers. It has affordable standards of living, high quality of life, medical facilities and accessible educational institutions," said Juwai IQI executive chairman Georg Chmiel.
