Are property clubs the problems? YES

WHEN it comes to buying and selling shares on Bursa Malaysia, there are laws that prohibit the use of inside information to execute a trade. Investors will get the book thrown at them if proven they are creating a false market, which is essentially manipulating a particular counter.

The same thing happens when sundry shops or a trader in foodstuff starts hoarding vital supplies in order to sell it at a higher price due to an acute shortage. Profiteering from misery and hardship in this case will see the law come down hard on unscrupulous traders.
