Not just a strictly business affair at property expo
The Malaysia Property Exhibition (Mapex) 2014 in Penang this weekend will be more than just a property fair.
Real Estate and Housing Developers’ Association (Rehda) Penang chairman Datuk Jerry Chan Fook Sing (pic) said visitors could bring their children along as there would be a Kids Corner where they could play.
“There will also be a clown going around giving out candy floss and popcorn.
“We will also be arranging for a model to dress up as Captain Francis Light to escort Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng to the stage to launch the exhibition,” Chan told a press conference on Mapex 2014, which will be held at the Subterranean Penang International Convention and Exhibition Centre from Friday to Sunday.
The event is organised by Rehda and Henry Butcher Malaysia (Penang).

“They are the D’Home Mental Health Association, The Salvation Army Penang Children’s Home, Grace Harmony Home, Penang Cheshire Home, Children Protection Society and St Nicholas Home Penang,” Chan said.
Rehda committee member Ng Chin-U said the exhibition would primarily showcase residential property projects in Penang.

Property fair again? Boring!
mari-mari, mari beramai-ramai…..bring your whole family come, father n mother busy buying house (like buy vege) while kids enjoying at kiddie corner….
it seems getting quite often nowadays, it is getting similar to PC fair.
Bring family, go n order one and all family only stay at new beautiful home, no need to go vacation, eat also have to think properly before spending.
seem like every week also got property fair.
ya lah, property fair is like a one stop centre for buying properties (maybe you can call it one-stop sucker centre), developers have to quickly push out all the stock in hand, before penang put in more restrictions for foreign ownership and anti speculation measures.
Spore is doing a good job in it’s drive to slow down property price. In fact they are already seeing a -20% price down, without any significant impact to their economy. We should emulate that too.
