Two major Malaysian timber companies, Permaju Industries Bhd and Eksons Corp Bhd are diversifying from their core businesses and moving into property development as the Malaysian property market continues to heat up.

According to statistics provided by the National Property Information Centre (Napic), the average price of a residential property in Malaysia has risen by 16% during the first half of this year to RM212,815 (US$68,600). Residential properties in Malaysia are the most expensive in Southeast Asia after Singapore.

Property development is a lucrative business especially for those with a good reputation and status. Property developers are allowed to collect payments and deposits from potential buyers, when projects are launched.

Preparations underway for Malaysian International Furniture Fair
The Malaysian International Furniture Fair (MIFF) 2011 will be held at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) and Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), from 1 to 5 March 2011. The MIFF will provide 80,000 square metres of exhibition floor space.
