This study aims to formulate strategies for implementing asset recycling for state property in the form of buildings owned by the Indonesian government. Ten structured interviews were conducted amongst 14 practitioners from the government and the private sector. The data were analyzed using qualitative data analysis software, NVivo 12. The results of the research are asset recycling implementation strategies in the form of considerations in implementation, mandatory steps, and implementation support strategy. Based on the research conducted, the implementation support strategy emphasizes overcoming the risk and challenge aspects in implementation. Furthermore, implementation support strategy is also formulated related to the issue of relocating the national capital city of Indonesia. The results of this study mainly recommends that the government should formulate a more flexible term of payment policy in asset recycling scheme; provide a digital information platform to entrepreneurs; carry out regulatory arrangements and provide guarantee of legal certainty for the private sector, the government itself, and the public; adopt a market-oriented state asset optimization policy paradigm; and develop an incentive system to encourage Ministries/Agencies to recycle their assets. The context of this research is limited to the study of asset recycling of state-owned buildings in general and is not simulative. The results of this study can be used as consideration and reference analysis for the government in implementing asset recycling policies with objects in the form of state-owned buildings.

COVID-19 guideline is expected to be part of the 'new norms' for workplace. However, regarding COVID-19 Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) issued by Ministry of Health Malaysia, there is inadequate concentration on Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) parameters even it has been proven in various research that COVID-19 transmission spread actively in indoor environment and green elements could mitigate the virus transmission. Therefore, this study aims to enhance existing COVID-19 SOP by discovering sustainable COVID-19 framework for office building. Sets of questionnaires is distributed among employees at Menara Majlis Bandaraya Johor Bahru, Malaysia and analysed using Frequency Analysis and Cross Tabulation Analysis. Overall, result shows that EQ7 Air Change Effectiveness is the most important IEQ parameters that can be selected to improve the current COVID-19 SOP. This study is significant for building manager in workplace to enhance their current SOP by adding green elements which is IEQ parameters to reduce COVID-19 spread in workplace.
2019冠状病毒病指南有望成为工作场所“新规范”的一部分。然而，在马来西亚卫生部颁布的COVID-19标准操作程序(SOP)中，尽管各种研究证明COVID-19在室内环境中传播活跃，绿色元素可以减轻病毒的传播，但对室内环境质量(IEQ)参数的重视程度不够。因此，本研究旨在通过探索可持续的办公楼COVID-19框架来完善现有的COVID-19 SOP。在马来西亚新山Menara Majlis Bandaraya Johor Bahru的员工中分发了几套问卷，并使用频率分析和交叉表分析进行分析。综上所述，EQ7换气效率是当前COVID-19 SOP中可选择的最重要的IEQ参数。本研究对工作场所的建筑管理者通过添加绿色元素(IEQ参数)来改进其现行SOP具有重要意义，以减少COVID-19在工作场所的传播。

Urbanization and increasing quality of life among society had caused increasing demand for artificial island development in most cities in the world. However, claims that the artificial island development project able to offer thousands of jobs for the local population has been refuted as it allows such a vast influx of foreigners also its consequences for the racial status quo. Therefore, this research’s objectives were to study the artificial island development potential as a marketing tool to boost property market sales as well as to determine its impacts from public community perspective. Thus, this research adopted quantitative approach along the research process. The results were based on the survey distributed within the Melaka Getaway in Malacca which involving 20 respondents from real estate industry’s person as well as 160 respondents from public communities. The results show that majority respondents agreed that artificial island development do influence the market sales of property in its surrounding area. Moreover, in terms of its impact towards the community and buyers’, the responses were categorized under four elements namely social, economic, environmental and strategic and geopolitical. The most significant impact was an improvement in quality of life, while the most significant disadvantage was a possible harm to the marine ecosystem. These results will be benefitted to both government and private sectors, public community as well as the researcher to explore a new angle of development.

The developer transferred a 99-year lease to the purchasers in a PLS instead of transferring the property ownership. Upon lease expiry, the property shall be reverted to the owner. In Malaysia, the Housing Development (Control & Licensing) Act 1966 (HDA 1966) regulates that a developer must transfer property ownership to the purchasers. "Build and lease" under the PLS does not comply with the law. This article is a conceptual paper that employs doctrinal research to analyse the legal position of property sale under a PLS and examine its compatibility with the existing law. The Courts' decisions on cases related to a PLS property are analysed to determine the PLS's implication on the purchasers' interest. Ultimately, to safeguard the purchasers, the amendment of the laws is recommended as a legal platform to legitimise the PLS.

Malaysia is a major exporter for petrochemical products. In line with this, the petrochemical industry is experiencing continuous growth and expansion. This study intends to examine the effect of the establishment of petrochemical hub on nearby housing price. Using residential transaction data of year 2016-2022 nearby Gebeng Industrial Area, we analyse the effect of the sitting of petrochemical hub via hedonic models. Our result indicates that the sitting of petrochemical hub will influence the housing price in which those located nearby will experience higher appreciation in property prices. This study is essential in clearing the doubt that housing price will be negatively influenced by petrochemical hub. Our findings further indicate that there is a need to educate local residents on the impact of the industry cluster on their house, in mitigating local opposition due to concern over declination of housing price due to the sitting of petrochemical hub.

Managing commercial real estate is extremely complex and cumbersome and involves many stakeholders who provide access to and modify a variety of information. This led to some common issues with traditional commercial real estate management such as lack of transparency, third-party interference, the complexity of the agreements, record keeping and security, and absence of real-time data. Accordingly, blockchain technology is anticipated to address the issues of data openness, trustworthiness, and correctness in the global real estate market. This research aims to discover the potential opportunities that blockchain could offer in streamlining the commercial office building operation management process. A conceptual framework of blockchain-based technology adoption in the current Malaysian commercial office building operation management process was developed based on the literature review and focus group discussion (FGD). The framework was underpinned by four core operation management that emerge from the research findings including financial, administrative, technical, and promotional management.

This study aims to develop the management provisions of the springs in the Law on Water Resources. This study uses secondary data in the form of books, journals, or other legal materials. Data and information gathered were analysed. The result of the research is to build the concept of prohibition in the context of sustainable asset management based on the Villages’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs Desa). One of the pillars of SDGs is Clean Water and Sanitation for Villages. Based on the research, the prevalence of water attractions that utilize springs creates new challenges in managing assets. One of the objectives of village-owned springs management for residents is to get clean water that is decent and can be consumed. The results of this study mainly recommend the government to formulate a policy to separate the springs from the tourist attractions. With these considerations, it is necessary to arrange regulations and provide legal certainty for central government, village government, management of water attractions, the private sector, and the society, as well as develop an incentive system for tourist attractions managers to separate the springs from tourist attraction area. tour. The results of this study can be used as references to analyse in formulating policies on springs’ management to obtain decent clean water, that can be consumed for the community and is sustainable.

The main problem faced by the joint management building (JMB) in the management of strata buildings is in the aspect of taking action against residents who refuse to pay the building management fee. The management of JMB itself faces problems in the proper way of managing the building management system and facilities, financial systems and community-based communication systems. In addition to the building management system which is still operated manually, the management of financial management fee collection is still implemented in a separately. Moreover, dissatisfaction of residents in terms of delayed in corrective maintenance management action of strata buildings, correlate to poor fee payment and further put pressure on the sustainable continuity of strata housing management. Digitalization of sustainable integrated property management which includes aspects of financial management, dissemination of communication within the community and safety and security in the management of affordable strata housing needs to be given special attention. This study proposes a framework for digitalization of sustainable integrated property management for affordable strata housing that the system is able to harmonize various aspects of the needs of strata residents to create a strata liveable life. This will then will be realized through the development of web-based system for the purpose of commercialization of sustainable integrated property management system for affordable strata housing that beneficial for the well-being of strata building residents as well as the JMB.

As a result of COVID-19 which was at its height between March 2020 and March 2021, the Malaysian government was forced to impose a Movement Control Order in phases to limit mobility. Consequently, many employees, including those from lower-income (B40) groups, were compelled to work from home (WFH). The movement limitations caused severe losses in income, and many had to alter the nature of their work to adapt to the WFH requirements. Concern with the mental health issues which have become a serious issue worldwide due to the increasing psychological damage caused by COVID19, this study, through questionnaire of lower income employees working from home in Penang Island, Malaysia, aims to contribute to the study of the quality of live and impact of their habit towards built environment when working from home. Data analysis is performed using SEM-PLS to examine the impact of housing cost and built environment on WFH productivity levels. This was subsequently extended to observe the influence of productivity levels on levels of depression. The results show that home financing costs and the built environment positively influenced WFH productivity levels but at the expense of higher levels of depression. The results of this study may be of interest to policy makers who need to plan mental health awareness programs due to financial worries and confined space environment for lower income group, as health culture could foster healthy equitable communities and well-being physically and mentally.

Private lease apartment is considerably a new option for residential properties in Malaysia’s housing market. However, its emergence is not without issue as it was claimed to bring more benefits to the land owners than to the buyers who became the properties’ lessees. Therefore, the aim of this paper is twofold: to examine the disadvantages of buying an apartment through private lease, and to study the potential of the build-then-sell approach as possible solution to secure buyer’s interest. Based on a case study approach, the collected primary and secondary data were descriptively analysed and discussed how the build then sell approach may potentially improve the private lease apartment delivery.
