Post CAPTIAL GAINS TAX : MALAYSIA

I have read of the sliding scale for Capital Gains Tax in Malaysia - going down to 5% if sold after 5 years.

Am I right in assuming that this Tax is only payable if selling up to leave - as opposed to selling to buy another house in Malaysia?

To the best of my knowledge CGT in Malaysia was abolished in 2007, or more correctly is being exempted since then.

When buying for own stay, you just got to be comfortable with your entry price. One eye on the "hypothetical" rental yield, ... one less property to worry about.
