MODERATOR: SR KHAIDZIR ABDUL RASIP, MANAGING DIRECTOR – IAN SCOTT INTERNATIONAL
Too o�en, property developments are design-led based on the vision of the developer, planner or designer. This approach has been said
to disregard the needs and wants of the market and in most cases, has led to a mismatch between demand and supply. In addi�on, it has
always been widely and inaccurately propagated that property will always appreciate in value. This specula�ve led propaga�on fuels a
sense of false demand and drive ar�ficial increase in price. In addi�on, conven�onal developments contribute to overhang sta�s�cs
whilst mega projects create white elephants and ghost ci�es.

These myths will be further deliberated in this session so that a solu�on could be put forward by real estate professionals in order to
mi�gate the much-talked property bubbles and housing affordability crisis.
