moderator Mr. Ong See Lian, the Chairman of RICS Asia Pacific.

Said Patrick Grove, Executive Chairman of the iProperty.com Group, "Luxury real
estate in Asia is undoubtedly still a hot commodity. Local investors, who are still
keen to cash in on the property market as a hedge against rising inflation, should
definitely check out the iProperty.com Expo "The Luxury Collection" for investment
opportunities beyond Singapore shores."

Added Grove, "Since its inception in 2005, the Expo has attracted over 50,000
visitors from 62 countries and over 30 exhibitors from more than 20 countries.
Building on this strong foundation, we are well on track to attracting more than
15,000 high net-worth individuals, expatriates and institutional buyers to this
year's event."

In conjunction with the Expo, an online expo website, which will feature exhibitor
and property details, photos of booths as well as video recordings of seminar and
panel discussions, will also be launched to cater to those home buyers and investors
who are unable to physically visit the exhibition. The website will also offer
property developers an excellent opportunity to tap on iProperty.com's vast regional
network to cross-market their products and services to a wider audience and extend
their product exposure from three days to 365 days. The online expo web site can be
accessed via the iProperty.com network available in Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines
and Hong Kong from 25 July 2008 onwards.

In a bid to expand its regional reach, the iProperty.com Expo will be held in
Singapore at the Suntec Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre
from 21-28 November, 2008.
