The Royal Highness DYMM Tuanku Ja'afar Ibni Al-Marhum Tuanku Abdul Rahman visited the Banyan Curve in May 07. He looked impressed.

IMO

having spent a great deal of time in Malaysia - I would be VERY wary of photos of the west coast developments...

I looked into this myself, and in the marketing info the photos of the "nearby beach" of of the East coast, not west.

For example:

1. Beaches are Terrible there- believe me, I have travelled round many areas of Malaysia as have my Malaysian friend- NONE go to the west coast for beach holidays! It's either east coast or one of the incredible islands.

2. Capital appreciation will be almost entirely fuelled by foreign investors - with little resale demand.

3. Malaysian 5* hotels are dirt cheap...You can stay in th Hilton for cheaper than the rents that this development will need to get the rental yield.

sorry but put a downer on things, and this is IMHO, but the development screams flashy photos.

(PS- 8% rental yield may not even cover your mortgage based on a repayment one if the interest rate in Malaysia continue to increase.)

industrial-wise, Malaysia is great for establishments but in tourism? it's not that good compared to Thailand and Philippines

On the West coast I have found only one development worth looking at really and thats due to its novelty shape and the attractive rental package. It's the golden palm tree.
