Foreign direct investment has also seen a dramatic 70% year-on-year increase, reaching USD1.98 billion within the first five months, cementing Malaysia&#8217;s position as a preferred destination for property investment in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n<p>A significant factor behind this growth is the government&#8217;s focus on affordable housing initiatives like PR1MA and Rumah Selangorku, which prioritize quality living spaces over mere cost-cutting measures.
