I'm a DREAMER... and this is my dream for Fye Property Club!!!

There’s nothing wrong to dream… Walt Disney was a dreamer too and look what has become of it …

Fye property club is my personal dream, my vision, ladies and gentlemen….

With better education over the years, our community has grown to become more affluent today. I hope one day, in the near future, more young malay professionals, entrepreneurs, businessmen and companies will embark on investing in private property, and even property developments (as individuals or in groups). I wish to see more malays in the future walking into showrooms at new project launches looking for units, enquire about lands to develop or even participate in property auctions.

I want to visualise my fellow malays having their own bankers, lawyers, auditors as their advisers in the decision making process of buy and sell properties. I believe there are more Malays out there doing this today. Alhamdullilah. And the numbers are increasing. I hope those who are already successful will come forward and help educate the rest, don't have to start with the masses. Just share our knowledge to our close friends, family and children for a start. There’s nothing wrong in sharing. Education is the key to success. I hope to see more contributing back to our society and thus improve the standard of living for Malays in Singapore to a higher level .

I feel we're a tad behind compared to other races when it comes to investing in private property. Let's narrow this gap together. Kalau bangsa lain boleh takkan kita tak boleh. (If other races can do it, why can’t we).
I'm pretty sick of hearing “old school” malays saying, kau ingat melayu senang nak main property, buat business, nie business tu. (You think it’s easy for us malays to dabble in business and property?” I don't see the reason as to why it is impossible. Nothing is impossible. I did it before. I’m no different than any of the malays in Singapore.

I mean opportunities are abundant out there. We either play “victim” to the situation or TAKE ACTION! By whining and complaining, we are letting opportunities slip by the day, by sheer ignorance, or by simply procrastinating making the effort to educate ourselves.

I can't change the world overnight, change the mindset of everyone overnight. I'm no superman, but I'll do it slowly. At least I've started my part by helping and educating my loved ones. My close friends (whom I've helped to purchase properties for investments), including some of my clients who eventually became good friends of mine, and of course, my family members. And we can do our part together. There's always something to learn and share everyday, I'm speaking for myself as well, there's always something to learn everyday, from things we see and hear and from the people around us. I myself am learning each day.

We have to come out of the shell and overcome the fear. To overcome the fear of risk by educating ourselves and seeking knowledge. We have to pick out books to read and learn, to meet people… and never stop ASKING.

I'm happy to read the Berita Harian, that some malay muslim organisations, business groups, companies, financial institutions and the media are organising seminars and talks to educate our community on the importance of wealth management. I think they are successful in creating this awareness. It's about time, don't u agree?

How I wish it was this vibrant 10 years ago. Then I wouldn’t have struggled that much trying to find out ways to start my business on my own. But then again without struggle, I wouldn't have learnt so much.

Talking about time, sadly- it's not waiting for us. Opportunities will not wait for you. Are we ready to face the changes Singapore is going through over the next few years? Let's open up all our senses with our eyes, ears, etc. with what's been going on around us lately.

The sudden bullish market in property prices- the hike in property prices and rental. Have you read the news lately? What did the ministers, and those in business have to say with regards to the sudden change? Did you notice the number of new projects popping up like mushrooms, some targeting the super rich that can afford to live in CBD, town areas like Orchard, and of course Sentosa. You've read about the government's decision to bring in F1. What can you picture in the near future? Singapore becoming the playground for the super rich? Is that possible? And yes, the sudden influx of foreigners in the local job markets. Have u been to Clarke Quay recently? I thought i was in Europe. For those who love to shop, have you been to Orchard lately? Have u seen the increase in foreigners compared to a few years back? Some are working here, some are studying, some are starting new lives and families here. Aren't you worried? If you are not.... I certainly am! At least worry for my family and my kids in the future. These foreigners would wanna to make a mark and build a new life here will work hard for sure. They'll be our competition for sure. And only the fittest will survive. Are we financially ready to face these challenges, this new era, this new economy?

So what is your game plan? Sometimes we have to make life-changing decisions for progress. I've heard this saying or quote. It goes something like, “Where you are today is because of the decisions you made yesterday. Where you want to be tomorrow, depends on the decision you make today.” YES.... TODAY!

Fye Property Club is my dream. I must admit I'm a dreamer. You just have to take action. Take the first step. Some of my dreams came true because i did exactly that in the past, Alhamdullilah and InsyaALLAH more dreams will come true for me and you. Amin!
