And then we have the people who are more than just “lucky”: the ones who can afford grand properties that cost more than a few million Ringgit!
 
“How come I never see any of these places before wan?” Of course lah, since most of these luxurious properties would be in some of the most exclusive and private neighbourhoods. Is it any surprise that these properties are owned only by the wealthiest 1% of Malaysian households?

We’ve now come to the cream of the crop: Tijani! Its name perfectly matches the high-end (OMG) price tag attached as it comes from the Arabic word ‘Al Tijani’, which means ‘crowning’ and is also often associated with Malaysia’s elite crowd.
 
In addition, Tijani is also adjacent to other A-list neighbourhoods like Taman Duta and Sri Hartamas. Investors and savvy property buyers who are looking for a premium home may want to check out this area to shop for future investment.
