This article is contributed by Irhamy Ahmad MRICS, Founder & Managing Director of Irhamy Valuers InternationalStrategically located along the Strait of Malacca, one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes, Malaysia is a prominent maritime nation. Its seaports play a critical role in both regional and global trade, functioning as transshipment hubs for Asia and gateways to the Southeast Asian market. Through its well-connected network of container ports, Malaysia efficiently links domestic industries to international markets.Malaysia’s container trade has grown exponentially over the past two decades. Accounting for over 25% of all containers handled in the region today, the country has witnessed a remarkable 400% increase in container throughput since 2000, when it contributed only 10%. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Malaysia has ranked 5th globally in shipping line connectivity since 2019, ahead of more economically developed nations such as Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. It comes as no surprise that Malaysia is home to two of the largest port facilities in the world. Leading the way, Port Klang and the Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) handle 64% of the total cargo throughput by Malaysian ports. Both ports consistently rank among the top 20 busiest ports globally. In the 2023 Lloyd’s List of one hundred container ports, Port Klang rose two places to 11th (up from 13th in 2022), while PTP secured 15th position, reinforcing Malaysia’s competitiveness in global tradeThe table below (Figure 1) provides a snapshot of Malaysia’s key container ports, detailing their operational capacities and highlighting their unique attributes. Each port contributes to the country’s maritime infrastructure, supporting both international and regional tradeWhile Port Klang and PTP dominate Malaysia’s port landscape, regional container ports also play an essential role in fostering balanced trade development. Penang Port, strategically positioned in northern Peninsular Malaysia, serves as a critical hub for industries in the region. Kuantan Port facilitates trade along the east coast, providing access to the South China Sea and broader international markets. Similarly, East Malaysian ports such as Kuching, Bintulu, and Sapangar Bay are pivotal in linking Sarawak and Sabah's resource-rich economies to global trade networks. Each of these ports is tailored to its region's unique needs, ensuring seamless goods movement throughout Malaysia and beyond. The nation’s strategic location and advanced port infrastructure have been instrumental in attracting global shipping lines, spurring economic growth, and enabling efficient trade flows. To sustain this momentum, the nation must tackle emerging challenges, including port congestion, climate adaptation, and growing competition in the region. By embracing smart port technologies, increasing container yard capacities, and expanding harbour drafts, Malaysia’s ports are well-positioned to meet future demands and remain competitive on the global stage. Malaysia’s container ports are the backbone of its economy, driving industrial growth and facilitating seamless global trade connections. Port Klang and PTP lead as internationally acclaimed transshipment hubs, while regional ports like Penang, Kuching, and Sapangar Bay cater to diverse economic demands. As Malaysia continues to invest in its maritime infrastructure and embrace technological advancements, it is well-positioned to maintain its status as a leading logistics hub in Southeast Asia and beyond.Check out newsletter now!

A CLOSER LOOK INTO THE PRIVATE HOUSING SUPPLYRecent market dynamics reveal a complex interplay between strengthening demand indicators and persistent supply concerns. While robust rental growth, population inflows, and moderating mortgage rates signal a recovery in demand, the price war in the primary market and mixed sales performance highlight ongoing supply pressures. The critical question remains: will this supply overhang outweigh the emerging demand recovery?The Housing Bureau projects 108,000 private residential units to be available in the next three to four years—a modest 10% increase from 2021's peak market levels when the home price index reached its historic high. A more meaningful assessment of market balance can be derived by analyzing the "months of supply" metric, which relates unsold units in completed projects and projects under construction to the primary transaction volume over the past 12 months.This indicator has traced a revealing pattern: from 54.4 months in December 2021, it rose significantly to 95.4 months in 2022 and peaked at 101.6 months in 2023, reflecting the downturn phase of the cycle. Recent data shows a moderation to 78.2 months as of September 2024, suggesting improving absorption dynamics. Looking ahead to 2025, assuming primary market transaction volumes normalize to 18,000 units annually (less than 10% above the projected 2024 level), the months of supply could moderate to 58.0 months by December 2025—approaching levels observed during more balanced periods, notably in 2021.While current inventory metrics indicate elevated levels of unsold units in completed projects and those under construction, forward-looking supply indicators present a contrasting picture. Most notably, the volume of potential units from disposed sites—where construction could commence immediately—has declined to 10,000 units as of September 2024, the lowest level since data collection began in 2012 and a marked decrease from 25,000 units in March 2023. This structural shift in the supply pipeline suggests potential moderation in medium term inventory growth, even as the market works through current stock levels.Meanwhile, developers' active management of their development pipelines suggests that the effective housing supply may prove more moderate than aggregate statistics indicate. Supply management strategies have emerged across multiple channels, including adjustments to construction timelines, project repurposing, and optimizing project launch schedules. SHKP's modification of its So Kwun Wat project timeline, citing design changes, exemplifies this trend. Additionally, in 2024, at least seven residential developments released a portion of their unsold units for leasing, representing an adjustment to the disposal pipeline. These strategic responses to market conditions introduce meaningful divergence between headline supply figures and realized inventory, potentially accelerating the convergence toward healthy inventory levels beyond current projections.Looking ahead, key macroeconomic headwinds that have pressured Hong Kong's residential market show signs of moderation, though geopolitical uncertainties—particularly the potential escalation of the US-China trade war—remain a primary concern. While current market conditions suggest a complex path to recovery, improving fundamentals indicate potential for market stabilization.Want to gain deeper insights into the housing market and what the future holds for you?
