The two markets in Seremban

Suraya: ‘We have to understand that there are two different markets. We have to look at the provision of housing from the social and the market sector standpoint.’

Khazanah Research Institute director Suraya Ismail once likened houses to cars. Although that analogy may not be appropriate as a car is a depreciating asset, she was trying to bring home the point that just as our roads are not filled with Mercedes and Bentleys, so our housing market must display a range of prices.

Going by that metaphor, it would seem that Seremban has a lot of highly priced cars on her roads.
