Reference: Case #01448650 (ICANN) / NC-UWS-6390 (Namecheap)

Divider1. Letter of Intent – Purpose and Intended Use of the Domain Name

I hereby submit this formal application for a non-objection letter regarding the domain name malaysia.build.

Intended Purpose:

The domain malaysia.build was developed as a comprehensive real estate listings platform for the Malaysian property market. The intended use was and remains:

  1. A centralized real estate portal – providing property listings, market data, and real estate services to Malaysian consumers and industry professionals.
  2. A platform for property developers and agents – offering digital tools for listing management, lead generation, and market analytics.
  3. A resource for home buyers and investors – delivering property valuations, market trends, and investment insights specific to the Malaysian real estate sector.

Why the .build Extension:

The .build top-level domain was specifically chosen because:

Why “Malaysia”:

The use of “Malaysia” was intended to:

The Domain Name Is Irreplaceable:

The domain name malaysia.build is irreplaceable. The domain name itself tells the user exactly what the website does. It offers significant CEO advantages – it is memorable, authoritative, and self-explanatory. Unlike country-specific domains like .my (which are inherently limited to Malaysia), .build is a gTLD (generic Top-Level Domain) with no geographical limitation. The market is worldwide.

To Support International Visitors – Especially MM2H Participants:

To support international visitors, especially those exploring programs like the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program, the platform was designed with a global audience in mind. The MM2H program is a key government initiative to attract foreign residents and investors to Malaysia. A global, easily discoverable domain like malaysia.build is essential to reach this audience effectively.

A fully functional demo website is available at: https://malaysia.sibu.design. The demo showcases nearly 90% of all key features and functions, including:

To Boost Malaysia’s Property Market:

Malaysia’s residential property market is showing mixed signals. While demand remains healthy (66,766 residential property transactions in Q3 2025, up 9.3% from the previous quarter), the market faces challenges:

A new, innovative platform like malaysia.build – with modern features, global reach, and targeted marketing – can help stimulate the market, connect buyers with sellers, and reduce overhang by increasing visibility for properties nationwide.

To Support Malaysia’s Digital Economy:

The platform is fully aligned with Malaysia Digital – a national strategic initiative by the Malaysian Government and MDEC (Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation) to drive digital transformation, attract high-value digital investments, and enable Malaysian businesses and citizens to play a leading part in the global digital revolution.

The platform operates within the Digital Trade, Digital Services, and Digital Tourism promoted sectors under the Malaysia Digital initiative. It supports the government’s goal of creating local entrepreneurs and global champions to increase the digital economy’s contribution to GDP.

3. Justification for the Use of the Term “Malaysia”

Legitimate Geographic Identification:

The term “Malaysia” was used to accurately identify the geographic focus of the real estate platform. The intended audience was worldwide / malaysian consumers, property buyers, and industry professionals operating within Malaysia.

Precedent and Industry Practice:

The use of country names in domain names for locally-focused businesses is common practice globally. Examples include:

No Misrepresentation:
