Tips on investing overseas

ONE can consider investing in overseas properties instead of relying on mutual funds or fixed deposits.

“In Malaysia, inflation is high and rental yield is low. Affordability is also at an all-time low with the ringgit falling and oversupply of local properties.

“Overseas investment of properties such as in Australia and UK can be a better choice,” said MIG Network Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Datuk Brian Wee in his talk ‘Is Overseas Property a Better Choice to Invest In With Falling Ringgit and Oversupply of Local Property?’ at the recent Star Property Fair 2015.

“Make sure you get positive rental yield to at least cover repayment.

“Do not settle for anything lower than 6%,” he said.

Feng shui master David Koh from the Malaysian Institute of Geomancy Sciences, in his talk ‘External Environology (feng shui)’, said the thinking brain is influenced by an unseen vibrating energy in the space where one works and lives, which in turn influences the thinking brain to think and decide.

“The clue is to work on how to get the right energy to suit oneself through environology,” he said.
