The REHDA Property Industry Survey 1H 2019 

recorded a reduction in the number of project 

launches as well as respondents. Although 

there was a spike in 15% sales, the sentiments 

towards the property industry for the next 10 

months remained mostly neutral. 

Most of the launches are 2-3 storey terrace houses and serviced 

apartments and the launched selling price were those between RM250,000 

and RM700,000. Most buyers were first-time purchasers, mainly for the 

purpose of self-dwelling. 

Majority of the respondents reported to have around 30% unsold stocks 

with end-financing issues as the main reason for unsold units, followed by 

unreleased Bumiputra units and low demand. Despite market conditions, 

more optimism is anticipated for 1H 2020. Many players across the building 

and construction industry are in the midst of introducing new projects in 

upcoming trade fairs and exhibitions across the globe, which you can read 

more about in the next edition of B&I magazine. 

We welcome editorial papers with respect to projects, products and 

services. However, B&I reserves the right to edit any editorial contribution. 

Happy reading and we look forward to your patronage.

1996 

In line with the rapid market expansion, 

Mr Tan Lai Huan, the chairman of 

Nam Heng Glass Group has invested in 

a new plant in Senawang in 2017, on top 

of various branches within Malaysia. The 

cost of investment was approximately 

RM50 million with a land area about 

18,130 square metres. The plant is 

equipped with new innovative high-tech 

glass processing machineries. These 

include a double chamber with convection 

tempering furnace, which can 

produce 50% more than the production 

volume of the old tempering furnace. This 

machine is currently the largest frame 

tempering furnace in Malaysia, measuring 

12 metres high and 3 metres wide. At 

the same time, it also introduced a fully 

automatic double-edge polishing machine 

which greatly increased the production 

capacity while ensuring the quality requirements 

of the glass. 

In addition, Nam Heng Glass Group 

has brought in the largest and most 

advanced laminated processing line into 

Malaysia. It can process laminated glass in 

the largest size, measuring laminated 

glass measuring up to 8 metres in height 

and 3 metres in width. This production is 

expected to be fully operational by August 

2018. 

In year 2018 Nam Heng Glass Group 

also completed the construction of its new 

plant in Sabah. Initially established for the 

production of float glass, further investment 

has expanded the plant’s glass portfolio 

that now includes processed glass to cater 

to the market needs in Malaysia. 

Nam Heng Glass Group currently has 

four wholesale glass factories in Malaysia. 

It is located in Johor, Selangor, Penang 

and Sabah. It supplies raw glass, mirrors 

and all types of glass. The glass inventory 

comprises a variety of glasses, totalling 

millions of square feet. 

At the same time, the company has 

also been expanding the glass processing 

facilities, from the original two factory 

buildings last year, to four. Today, Nam 

Heng Glass Group has seven tempered 

glass production lines, five laminated 

glass production lines, two insulated glass 

production lines and various processing 

production lines – all of which fully 

capable to meet the demands for high 

performance glass across all projects in 

Malaysia. 

Nam Heng Glass Group continues to 

break through and create a new glass 

world, from the wholesale glass to the 

glass processing industry. It inspires to 

bring the most advanced and highest 

quality glass to the local market as well as 

to improve the local glass market level.
