"By embracing this momentum, Malaysia's property industry is poised for remarkable advancements, and Property Genie is spearheading this transformation," he said

Wong explained that Property Genie's portal is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, catering to all users, including the elderly and those new to real estate platforms.
