PETALING JAYA: Real Estate and Housing Developers’ Association (Rehda) Malaysia will be holding 22 nationwide property expositions, the Malaysia Property Exposition (Mapex), in 2017.
The first Mapex, themed “Greater connectivity for Better Affordable Living”, will be held on April 14 to 16 (Friday to Sunday) at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre, Kuala Lumpur. It will be the largest national property exposition.
Mapex organizing chairman Datuk Ng Seing Liong said the newly launched Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and other upcoming LRT/MRT projects aim to reduce traffic congestion and provide convenience for the people.
“Efficient public transportation is good for the affordable housing projects. With more efficient transportation, there will be less need to own a car.
“Rehda would like to ask the government to consider easing some planning guidelines such as carpark provision for strata/high-rise development to meet the demand, especially for affordable housing,” said Ng, who is also Rehda past president and patron.
“The space allocated for extra carparks can be used for other common space or green area and eventually lowering the overall cost of development,” he added.
Minister of Transport Datuk Sri Liow Tiong Lai will be officiating the opening ceremony on Saturday, April 15 at 2.30pm.
“Mapex is definitely an ideal platform for developers to showcase their projects to the public, especially the new launches.
“In nearly two decades, Mapex has facilitated thousands of house buyers in search of their dream homes and I am confident that it will once again, positively influence the reach and value of properties showcased,” Ng said.
Mapex will present a wide range of strata and landed properties by reputable property developers, which range from affordable to exclusive and luxury, each with their own unique features.
Currently, 37 renowned developers have confirmed their participation, among them are Ecoworld Development Group Bhd, Mah Sing Group Bhd, Matrix Concepts Holdings Bhd and Putra Nilai Development Sdn Bhd.
“We are targeting the participation of 60 developers this year as Mapex is a good platform for developers come forward to display their units.” Ng said.
Property related agencies such as Rumah Mampu Milik Wilayah Persekutuan (RUMAWIP) under the Ministry of Federal Territories will also be there to offer special schemes on affordable housing.
Visitors of Mapex will stand a chance to win tickets of Legoland Theme Park. The first 15 homebuyers are also eligible to RM2,000 cash rebate.
There will be property talks on Saturday and Sunday. The invited speakers are Khairudin Ya’cob (Ho Chin Soon Research Sdn Bhd), Sam Helmy (Neovate Developments Sdn Bhd), Gary Chua (Smart Financing) and Gunaprasath Bhupalan (Emjay Communications).
“On behalf of the Mapex Committee, I would like to express our appreciation to all developers who have been our loyal supporters all these years, making Mapex the longest running and biggest property exposition of the nation.
“Our booths are selling out fast. So act now and contact Mapex secretariat to avoid disappointment,” said Ng.
