Thought many of the Medini projects are private lease scheme, PLS~?
Medini is 99 years leasehold
After the lawsuit from sg buyers of Medini residence, I understand that it will be converted to freehold at a fee.
We are still waiting for the notice after they finalise the procedures

A private lease scheme (PLS) in Malaysia is a contractual arrangement where a buyer leases a property for a set term, like 99 years, without taking ownership of the title. Under this scheme, the developer retains the property title, and buyers essentially "rent" the property for the duration of the lease, with the property reverting to the developer at the end of the term. Unlike typical leasehold properties, this model often lacks clear statutory protections, and the terms for lease renewal can be vague, creating significant risks for buyers who are not legally recognized as owners.

From what I know, the jb govt is trying to limit foreigners owning freehold landed.
For landed resale, foreigners can only buy from
Foreigners. Local landed can’t sell to foreigners as the state will not give the consent.
