At the moment, just over 30% of all residential schemes run at least a year over schedule, and developers have a reputation for cutting corners. Tactics such as starting work before all approvals are granted and using sub-standard materials have been reported, and it is predicted that the new changes might wipe out the thousands of small developers who won\u2019t be able to comply with the updated laws.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"ao6pqgklBp\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buyassociationgroup.com\/en-gb\/2017\/03\/31\/malaysia-attracts-record-numbers-chinese-buyers\/\">Malaysia attracts record numbers of Chinese buyers<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Malaysia attracts record numbers of Chinese buyers&#8221; &#8212; BuyAssociation Group\" src=\"https:\/\/www.buyassociationgroup.com\/en-gb\/2017\/03\/31\/malaysia-attracts-record-numbers-chinese-buyers\/embed\/#?secret=GEenengVNB#?secret=ao6pqgklBp\" data-secret=\"ao6pqgklBp\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The new law was required as a deterrent,&#8221; said Pankaj Kapoor, founder of real estate rating and research firm Liases Foras. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Now developers won&#8217;t be able to misuse and siphon money in the manner they did in the past.
