Why do foreigners invest in Malaysian property?

In terms of property market, Malaysia property prices are still among the cheapest in Asia with good growth amidst a resilient economy. Regional property markets like Hong Kong and Singapore have actually risen too much in the past few years and are now taking a breather, as shown by the Regional 1- and 5-year House Price Changes below. This has deterred the appetite of foreign investors in the two popular Asian cities.

The majority of 93% of the total investment in Malaysia are still by the local Malaysians, and only 3% are from the foreigners. Thus, Malaysia's property price index has been steady over the years despite constant hiccups of world crisis due to steadily increasing demand for properties. The local demand fuels the wealth and prosperity growth over the years in Malaysia.
