Property summit in January
The inaugural Penang International Property Summit and an international property exposition will be held in January next year at the Subterranean Penang International Convention and Exhibition Centre (SPICE) in Relau.
The summit themed ‘Managing Future Trends and Challenges’ will be held on Jan 9 and Jan 10, while the property exhibition will be on show from Jan 9 to Jan 11.
State Housing and Town and Country Planning Committee chairman Jagdeep Singh Deo said although there had been many property exhibitions in Penang, the summit would be the first to have a conference as well as a property exhibition.
“In line with our aspiration of becoming an international and intelligent city, the con-ference is aimed at creating better awareness of the many issues that are faced by the industry players and their views will be heard by the state government, in order to further promote the property market in Penang,” he told a press conference recently.
He said several prominent speakers would speak on topics such as the challenges of affordable housing, incentives for first-time home buyers and greener buildings.
“There will also be a CEO round-table dialogue chaired by Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng. The dialogue is by invitation and is limited to 30 captains of the industry.
Event director Ong Ban Seang said there would be about 70 companies and developers participating in the Penang Property Summit 2015.

Kan Ni Nah! The people already cannot afford decent housing already, some more want to promote penang properties internationally.
And then look at all the expensive EMPTY homes now, such a waste! The poor innocent engineers who bought homes for speculation bleeding everyday, cannot flip, just transferring all their hard earned money to Mr Public Teh every month! What’s the point? Rocket, lu chor har mi LAN eh?!!!
U r really engineer ??? Seems like BTC one.
You are lucky to be born in Penang or work in Penang. The properties remain affortable. What happen to those work in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore? They are dying ? If you are working in Bangkok or jarkata will you appreaciate what we have now. we are so lucky working in Penang that so many affortable appartment available.
Yes all cramp together with traffic lights everywhere.
Penang properties are not rising fast enough. Must go up up up… everyone rich….yessshhhh…
According to Penang Master Builders president, as oil price come down, material price will also come down. And with housing demand from speculators slowing down significantly, construction jobs in Penang have reduced 40% compared to last year.

Or pay toll everyday..ha3
Not necessarily, if someone is retiree or company subsidize toll and petrol
or working in B’worth.
@Mainland
Company subsidizes toll no limit one is it? Go anywhere also can claim is it?
“Go anywhere also can claim is it”?
Which place are you referring ?
I think compare PG to HK, SG and Tokyo is totally wrong. You know how much is their pay/income per capita? They are international grade financial hub and tourism hot spots.
However, Penang should do more better in providing affordable houses from RM200k to RM300k. If these gaps are filled up, there won’t be any empty high price condo and super condo like we are having now.
May I know what is the time and fee for this talk? Thanks.
