The conflict in the Middle East and its consequential disruption to global energy flows have caused crude prices to increase, resulting in rising costs and other consequences but this is a “temporary deviation”, says a government official.

During one of the panel discussions, Rahim & Co Chestertons director real estate agency Siva Shanker said that from a commercial point of view, it was “impossible” to make any judgement call as to how things were going to look, moving forward.

“That whole environment is so volatile, but I worry if it is going to escalate. I think we are going to be seeing some abandoned stuff,” he said, adding that ‘’there is only so much you can absorb”.

Escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the rise in crude oil prices are expected to intensify cost pressures on Malaysia's construction and property sectors over the next six to 12 months, with steel, cement, logistics and fuel costs all moving higher.

Industry players warn that sustained energy price volatility could affect project viability, particularly for contractors operating under fixed-price contracts, where rising input costs are difficult to pass on.

During a panel discussion at the summit, Rahim & Co Chestertons director Siva Shanker said the unpredictability of global developments makes it increasingly difficult to assess the commercial outlook.

Pasaran hartanah Malaysia memulakan tahun 2026 dengan momentum yang lebih sederhana apabila aktiviti transaksi menyusut susulan persekitaran ekonomi global yang lebih perlahan dan sentimen pasaran yang lebih berhati-hati.

Namun begitu, sektor kediaman terus menunjukkan daya tahan disokong oleh pertumbuhan harga rumah yang stabil, permintaan pemilik kediaman yang berterusan serta pelbagai insentif perumahan kerajaan.

Response to the proposal for an option to purchase (OTP) mechanism in the property market has mostly been cautious, with stakeholders stressing the need for clearly defined conditions to ensure that both buyers and developers are protected.

The major concern is that many projects may end up abandoned if the OTP is not properly thought out and implemented, defeating the very purpose for introducing it in the first place.

On May 7, housing and local government minister Nga Kor Ming said the government is mulling a plan to introduce an OTP clause in the Real Property Development Bill to prevent developers from abandoning housing projects.

A real estate agent said that to safeguard the developer’s interests, there must be provisions to ensure prospective buyers do not walk away after construction begins.

08/05/2026

When tensions flare thousands of kilometres away in the Strait of Hormuz, it is easy to assume that Malaysia’s property market would remain largely untouched. After all, homes are built on local ground, brick, steel and soil, not on shipping lanes in the Middle East. Yet, like a pebble dropped into still water, disruptions in one of the world’s most critical oil arteries send ripples far beyond their origin. The Strait of Hormuz carries nearly 20% of global oil supply and recent disruptions have already pushed Brent crude prices above USD100 per barrel, reviving concerns about inflation, cost pressures and economic uncertainty.

At first glance of the initial repercussion, the impact appears largely psychological. Rising oil prices tend to unsettle financial markets, dampen sentiment and make both buyers and investors more cautious. Property, being a long-term commitment, is especially sensitive to shifts in confidence. However, if elevated oil prices persist, the effects quickly move beyond sentiment and become more material to the real economy. Higher fuel costs filter through to inflation, raising the price of goods and services across the board. In Malaysia, diesel prices have already risen noticeably, with knock-on effects on logistics and transportation. As supply chain costs increase, businesses and households alike begin to feel the strain, reinforcing a more cautious economic outlook.
