Guest of Honour
Message from

Minister of Youth and Sports, Sabah
It is with great pleasure that I welcome all exhibitors of SHAREDA Property Hunter
Expo Tawau, an event that is jointly organised by Sabah Housing And Real Estate
Developers Association (SHAREDA) and Maxx Media (S) Sdn Bhd (or Property Hunter)
at Lau Gek Poh Foundation Building from 16-18 May 2014.
This is the 2nd year that the expo is being held in Tawau, I applaud the efforts by
the organisers to bring in property development projects from all over Malaysia and
overseas to be showcased to the people of Tawau. I believe that this is also a good
platform to promote local property projects developed by our local developers in
Sabah.
In the midst of exuberant growth in the property market, I encourage the developers
to continue to deliver high quality products at a reasonable price. As property buyers
become more sophisticated and well informed, it is important that the products
evolve along with the changes in the market.
On the other hand, it is also very important for developers to commit to develop
affordable housing, as a gesture to contribute back to the community as a corporate
social responsibility programme. On this note, I would like to congratulate and laud
SHAREDA for their initiative and vision to complement the government to build
10,000 units of affordable homes for the local community in the next 5 years.
As the economy continues to prosper, it is natural to see the demand for property
to increase, particularly for investment purpose. I would like to take this opportunity
to remind all property investors to be cautious when investing in a property, and to
avoid speculative investment behaviour. Whilst property is a good tool in preserving
wealth, it should be treated as a steady long term investment tool.
Last but not least, I would like to once again congratulate SHAREDA and Property
Hunter of their successful endeavours to stage the SHAREDA Property Hunter Expo
in Tawau, and we look forward to more editions to come.
Wishing everyone a very fruitful event.
Thank you & Happy Shopping!
