In the last segment of our feature on property development viz-a-viz the protection available to property purchasers who buy from developers, we spoke to two experts in the field, law professor Salleh Buang and legal advisor to the Malaysian Institute of Estate Agents, David Kok.

We’d like to return to Pro Salleh Buang for his views on what can be done to further protect purchasers so that purchasing a property can be a ‘safe bet’.

One of his proposals is an insurance plan to ensure that a project gets completed even in the event that the developer goes bust.
