Research and Innovation

The Research and Innovation Program was created in 1985 in line with the establishment of INSPEN, which is a training and research institute for the Valuation and Property Services Department. At the beginning of its establishment, the program comprises a Research Unit and Real Estate Information Unit. The Research Unit focuses more on research at the national level and produces more focused research on the internal use of departments. While Property Information Unit is specific to the provision of Real Estate Market Report, which is published annually.

When NAPIC was established in 1999, the Property Information Unit at INSPEN was abolished and consequently, the Product Consulting and Product Development Unit was created. The main function of this unit is to provide consultancy services in the field of research and training to external agencies, in which consultation fees apply to the applicant agency. The unit is also responsible for publishing research-related materials for both internal and external circulation.

In 2002, INSPEN was entrusted by the Ministry of Finance to act as a coordinator in distributing funds to conduct research in real estate. The fund known as NAPREC is to be channeled to organizations that have been identified for conducting specialized research projects in real estate. To carry out this responsibility, the NAPREC Unit has been established and the main function of this unit is to manage, monitor and distribute research funds to researchers conducting research in related fields.

Hence with the developments, the Property Research and Development Program now includes;

Data Center for Research and Analysis
Product Consultancy Center and Development

Welcome to the Research and Innovation Center website.

The three main functions of the Research and Innovation Center are Research Units, Consulting and Innovation Units and NAPREC Units.

Research plays a key role for an organization that seeks to uphold international achievements.

In fact, the importance of research has been the main objective of the Valuation and Property Services Department's Strategic Plan. Academic research has been accepted by industry players with NAPREC's allocation of funds. NAPREC's research has led to the commercialization of the research's revenue of RM 4.8 million which has been allocated for NAPREC funds to ensure that property industry research is comparable to other industry research.

In the era of technologically expanding the demand for JPPH's internal research has also been in great demand for solving internal problems as well as for international presentation.

In relation to that, INSPEN has been working to develop research experts throughout JPPH with the increasing number of interns (RI) from JPPH branches throughout Malaysia.

The Consultation and Innovation Unit has stepped up not only property negotiations in the country but also overseas, such as Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. Consultations have been recognized worldwide as evidence of these services is increasing from time to time.

My intention is to see the sustainability of these three units into an INSPEN branch that provides the best and effective research, research and consulting services for the benefit of the Malaysian property industry.
