KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 22 (Bernama) -- The profession of valuation, estate agency and property management is an important professional services sector and serves as one of the main pillars of the country’s economic growth, said Deputy Finance Minister Lim Hui Ying.

“Registered valuers and real estate agents play an important role in guiding and educating consumers, especially buyers, to obtain accurate information on the property market.
