Aside from this astounding success, iProperty.com Malaysia, the country’s No.1 Property Portal, has once again been named Digital Media Company of the Year in the category of Property and Real Estate, ahead of our competitors Mudah Property, Star Property and HomeGuru. Kudos to the team! This success is also greatly attributed to you, our esteemed readers, partners and clients. So, from the team, A BIG THANK YOU and we look forward to many more such success! In this issue, the editorial team dwells deeper in the 2012 Budget.
