Recognised Qualifications for Registration as Real Estate Agents of Malaysia

Hi Folks,

Happy New Year 2008!

It's time to get cracking: eight days have passed since the new year dawned.

For fellow Malaysians, the early good news was that the Malaysian government was kind enough not to raise fuel prices for the time being (for as long as it could afford, so it was reported in the press).

But one thing for sure, crude oil price has gone past US$100/barrel; families with school going children must have also discovered by now that although the government has kindly waived all school fees and loaned all school children with free text books, families are ironically paying much more education fees than before: the list of PTAs(Parents-Teachers Associations)-imposed miscellaneous fees have gotten longer, causing the total quantum to go up on top of a separate list of "extra-curricular" text books and work books that children must buy (with cheques payable to a certain book store outside); there was also the irony of cooking oil shortage nationwide which the government has acted to resolve.

The average or low-income families, the way I see it, hoped that the authorities would play its watch-dog role for them by auditing (approving or disapproving) all PTA-imposed fees and their accounts, bread-winners of these families must also play their part by working doubly hard (2 jobs even like many in a southern republic) and smart early from the new year... You never know what other prices will go up shortly...

So, it's time to get cracking - the early the better for all families!

That aside, in my first post for this year, I want to give you the link which you can click on to check on the qualifications recognised for registration as estate agents or even valuers of Malaysia - as a follow-up to my post of Nov 9 2007 where I mentioned that "...only persons who meet the requirements stipulated in Secs 22A (& 22D) of the VAE Act 1981 shall be entitled for registration as real estate agents and be issued with the authority under Sec 16 to practise real estate agency" as the 1st safeguard the Malaysian Estate Agency law provides to protect public interests via a system of registration of duly qualified persons...

I suggest that all who are currently eyeing Malaysian estate agency business, do check your qualification(s) and eligibility out to avoid running foul of the Malaysian real estate agency law!
