She bought her house on sub-sale. She bought it from a Malay chap. Apparently, this Malay chap has 6 units for sale, which he "supposedly" won by bidding for them from the developer. Each unit was sold at RM80,000.00 higher than the developer's price on the average. Of course, I am sure some chinese also get lucky by winning a couple of bids and then sell them off. Property investment, people say. But really, this system makes me sick to the core! I really wonder if this is just confined to the property market or to all kinds of tenders where "really lucky" people win bids...PabloPablahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295119587408667145noreply@blogger.com
