Who is Chris Liew?
Chris Liew is a real estate negotiator registered with the Board of Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers under number REN 08014. He works through PropNex Realty Sdn. Bhd., agency registration E (1) 1800/2, and covers Johor Bahru and Iskandar Puteri. Iskandar Puteri takes in Medini, where Bodaiju Residences is going up.
On his profile page he describes his approach as practical and straightforward: clear information, quick replies and no unnecessary pressure. For a project that is still under construction, with completion shown on this site as Q3 2028, that mostly means putting the documents and the sums in front of you before anyone asks you to book.
How do I check Chris Liew's REN registration?
You check a negotiator on the official register run by the Board of Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers, not on a name card or a WhatsApp profile. Chris Liew's number is REN 08014, and the check runs in four steps:
- Open the board's official search page.
- Choose "Search for Negotiator" and enter Chris Liew or REN08014.
- Match the name, photograph, agency and current status with the person you are dealing with.
- At a viewing, ask to see the original REN tag and scan its QR code.
The same four steps work for any agent who offers you a Bodaiju unit. They are worth doing before you transfer a booking fee to anyone.
What has Chris Liew been recognised for?
Chris Liew's two verified national rankings are #63 in the PropNex Malaysia Top 100 Achievers Award for 2024 and #136 in the PropNex Malaysia Top 200 Achievers for 2025. His profile page links the official award card for each one.
| Year | Recognition | Level |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | PropNex Malaysia Top 100 Achievers Award, #63 | Malaysia |
| 2025 | PropNex Malaysia Top 200 Achievers, #136 | Malaysia |
| Over the years | Top awards 3 times in Malaysia and 3 times in Johor Bahru | Malaysia and JB |
| Recurring | Gold and Weekly Achiever | PropNex |
The agency has its own record, listed on the same page. PropNex Realty won the Golden Bull Award as an Outstanding SME in Malaysia in 2020, and PropNex Malaysia was recognised at the NREA Awards in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. Those are the firm's results, not his, and the page keeps the two apart.
Where do the figures on this site come from?
Every guide on bodaijuresidences.com names its sources at the foot of the page and the date they were read. Where a figure could not be checked, it is left out or marked as not confirmed. The four guides so far:
- The developer: Creed Group of Japan, founded in 1996, and the RM185.99 million building contract with MGB, from company history pages, exchange news and press reports.
- Rental yield: asking rents of RM2,100 to RM2,300 for 761 to 764 sq ft two-bedroom units at Grand Medini work out to 5.7% to 7.0% gross at Bodaiju's starting prices.
- Foreign buyers: every layout sits below Johor's RM1,000,000 line, so a foreign buyer faces the RM50,000 minimum approval fee and 8% flat stamp duty on indicative prices of RM440,000 to RM610,000.
- The sales gallery: two furnished show units, Type B at 753 sq ft and Type C at 893 sq ft, at C-GF-01, Pusat Perdagangan Ion Akses, open by appointment.
Prices here are indicative starting prices. They move by floor, facing and package, and the figure that binds the developer is the one in your sale and purchase agreement.
How does Chris Liew work with a Bodaiju buyer?
Chris Liew starts with what the unit is for: your own home, a rental, or a weekend base from Singapore. The answer decides which layout and which costs matter, and the rest runs in four steps:
- Priorities: budget, layout, and whether you are Malaysian or foreign, because nationality changes the approval and the stamp duty.
- A shortlist with the sums done for your case, using the figures in the foreign buyer and yield guides.
- A booked viewing of the two show units at the gallery.
- Papers before money: he asks the developer's team for the developer licence, the advertising permit and the draft sale and purchase agreement for your layout, so you can read them at home first.
For owners who later sell or let, his profile says he keeps private contact details, unit numbers and other sensitive details out of public adverts. This site follows the same rule: no owner names and no exact unit numbers.
Is this the developer's official website?
No. bodaijuresidences.com is an independent project guide written by Chris Liew. The developer is Creed Property Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., the Malaysian arm of Creed Group. Where this site quotes the developer or its marketing agent, it says so, and the developer's own documents come before anything written here.
