My Reading List - Part 1&2

A.
There is a reading list for each subject given by the Rules & Guidelines to the Part I & II Estate Agent Examination (hereafter 'Rules and Guidelines'), published by LPPEH, 2nd Edition 1-January 2005.This is the official "Textbook and References" and unless there are changes in the above 'Rules and Guidelines', it is still the 'LIST'. Despite the relevance of materials over time (since 2005 was 10 years ago), you should not just rely on the below reading list which I develop based on my journey in the examination.

Disclaimer:
My reading list is much about my own preference, and DOES NOT represent the recommended textbook and reference from the Board of Valuers, Appraisers and Estate Agents, Malaysia.
