In the footsteps of Mahatma Ghandi

On 12 March 1930, Mahatma Gandhi began the defiant Salt March – a 241-mile walk in 23 days – to protest the British monopoly on salt. The British had placed high taxes on India’s salt, which was a necessary part of life, and placed a strict law forbidding the Indians to buy or make salt in their homeland. Malaysians, are you ready to follow in Gandhi’s footsteps and march against the tyranny of the property industry in Malaysia?

“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty”

Mahatma Ghandi (1869-1948)

 

Mahatma Ghandi (1869-1948) was a pioneer of Satyagraha or resistance through mass non-violent civil disobedience. He became one of the major political and spiritual leaders of his time. Satyagraha remains one of the most potent philosophies in freedom struggles throughout the world today.

His commitment to non-violence and his belief in simple living and his use of fasts for self-purification as well as a means of protest has been a beacon of hope for oppressed and marginalised people throughout the world.

Property Ghandi aspires to follow in the footsteps of Mahatma Ghandi to awaken Malaysians who are at risk of being the Homeless Generation. Emulating Mahatma Gandhi’s commitment to non-violence and his belief in simple living, Property Ghandi aims to motivate Malaysians to take control over the forces of supply and demand that in recent years have been hijacked and manipulated by the Property Industry in Malaysia to propel property prices to their current unaffordable and unsustainable levels.

Property Ghandi aims to empower Malaysians through the dissemination of knowledge and understanding of the Malaysian Property Market and Property Industry with the objective that Malaysians will no longer be subjected to manipulation through enticements and fear that will propel property prices to even more unaffordable and unsustainable levels.

Last but not least, Property Ghandi encourages Malaysians to participate in discussions and dialogues for the sharing and distribution of information that will break the monopoly of the Property Industry in Malaysia over the control of information on the Property Market in Malaysia.

With information on the Malaysian property market freely available, the Property Industry’s ability to control and manipulate the supply of properties, and thus their ability to manipulate demand and property prices through enticements and fear, will have been severely curtailed if not broken.
