PETALING JAYA, March 13 — Ongoing global geopolitical conflicts are expected to moderately affect Malaysia’s property development and construction sector in 2026, according to a preliminary survey by the Real Estate and Housing Developers’ Association (REHDA).
Its president, Datuk Ho Hon Sang, said 42.6 per cent of respondents anticipated a moderate impact from the tensions, while around 30 per cent expected a significant effect, although the full consequences have yet to materialise.
“The conflict in West Asia started two weeks ago. Contractors are very vigilant; they continue to monitor the situation, and we are receiving feedback from the industry from time to time.
“At the same time, we will work closely with the government to explore what they can do to support the industry,” Ho said at Rehda's Property Industry Survey for the second half of 2025 and Property Market Outlook for 2026, held here today.
