Named "The Golden Chersonese" by ancient Indian, Arab and Chinese mariners, Malaysia occupies the southern most tip of Asia as well as the land mass bordering the South China seaboard of the great island of Borneo. Malaysia is located right in the heart of South East Asia and with a land area of 329,750 sq km it is a little bigger than the United Kingdom.

This made it quicker and easier for overseas buyers to own a house here. The housing industry celebrated the change in rules as a triumph of business over bureaucracy.
