Too many buildings but.....

I was waiting outside the DST in Serusop and looking at the new building being constructed. I was then approached by an elderly gentleman who asked me.

EG: Apa diliat atu?

I: Ni diurang membuat keraja kontrek ah.

EG: Au banyakkan bangunan tapi indada yang kan menyewa?

I: Ia tah ha, tapi bagus jua kali banyak bangunan ani, inda kan?

EG: Bagus, bagus tapi apa faedahnya mun banyak kosong wang.

There is definitely truth in what the man said. What is the point of building so many buildings, shop houses and business premises when you can't find renters or business operators to run their businesses.

Everywhere the rental has dropped but the government is continuing to pay higher rental thereby causing imbalance in economy summarized the elderly gentleman.

What can we do except to go with the flow.

probably a rent control board would solve the problem I don't know. Only time will tell.
