THE Star Property Fair 2012 is back for its 10th year with a more interesting array of programmes.

The Star regional operations manager (north) Chung Chok Yin said the overwhelming public response had contributed to the fair’s 10th edition.

“I hope those who wish to buy houses will obtain useful information from this showcase of prime property projects in Penang and overseas,” said Chung.

He added that the property market in Penang was resilient.

He was speaking after the fair’s launching by Star Publications (M) Bhd executive director Tan Sri Kamal Hashim at Star Northern Hub in Bayan Lepas, Penang.

Touted as the state’s premier property expo, the fair will be held at Gurney Plaza and G Hotel from July 12 to July 15.

To date, about 40 developers who are major local and international players in the sector have taken up booths at the fair.

Joining them are several financial institutions and investment companies.

The four-day exhibition will feature property talks and forums conducted by specialists to provide useful information on property investment as well as related issues such as feng shui.

The main sponsor for the fair is IJM Land Bhd.
