Brace yourselves to be educated by key property experts, this Sunday (8th May) 2016 at Nexus, Bangsar South.

As the property market is seemingly uncertain, property buyers and investors are eager to know as to where the market is heading. The upcoming Prime Investment Forum that will be held this Sunday is expected to clear some of these doubts.

The forum is organised by StarProperty.my and sponsored by Mah Sing Group Bhd will take place from 9am until 6pm. Participants at the forum will also have the chance to tap the minds of property professionals throughout the lunch break.

Chur Associates founder Chris Tan, Iqbal Hakim, Sia and Voo advocates and solicitors partner Elizabeth Siew, Khalil Adis Consultancy Pte Ltd founder Khalil Adis, as well as advocate and solicitor Dr Choong Kwai Fatt who is also a tax and GST consultant.

Khalil, who is the co-author of “Get it Right Iskandar” – the first book ever written on investing in Iskandar Malaysia, will deliberate on “Connectivitiy and its Impact on Residential, Commercial and Industrial Properties”.

At the forum, Khalil will be sharing his tips and strategies from his upcoming book, “Property Buying for Gen Y”, with a special focus on commercial properties.

Siew will explore some of the out-of-the-box legal structures and strategies that enable property buyers to invest creatively amidst the challenging time.

In the topic “Quality, Location & Reputation – Learning the Art of War in Property”, Tan will share that “Housing The Nation” is a pressing agenda of the country, both at federal and state levels.

“Legally, we are living in the time and era of the best possible home owners protection with friendly incentives as well as attractive financing given to genuine home buyers,” he shared.

Choong, who has 26 years of experience providing tax consultancy services to listed companies, audit firms and the government sector, will share his insights on “Tax Strategies in GST Era on Property Acquisition – with Asset Protection for Children.”

Despite the gloomy economy, property acquisition remains a strong investment and financial planning too, and Choong said new strategies need to be formulated for tax efficiency and profit optimisation. He will also identify the manner for asset protection given to children.
