Ramah Pavilion @ Teluk Kumbar, Penang
A completed freehold condominium on Jalan Bukit Gemuruh by M Summit Group — 759 condominium units in towers of 39 and 36 storeys, plus a 17-storey block that takes the register total to 1,029 homes. The certificate of completion is dated 12 June 2018. The whole permit band sits below Penang Island’s floor for non-citizens, so foreigners cannot buy here.

Six things about Ramah Pavilion worth knowing before you view a unit
Four are reasons a Penang buyer keeps it on the resale shortlist. Two are things to settle before you pay anything. All six come from M Summit Group’s own page or the government register.
Freehold in the island’s south-west
M Summit Group’s project page states the tenure as freehold. In a part of Penang where buyers are usually comparing on monthly instalment, a title with no lease running down is the detail that still matters when you sell or refinance a decade from now.
A building you can inspect, not imagine
The register shows every component 100% built, with a certificate of completion and compliance dated 12 June 2018. That is eight years of real occupation: you can ride the lifts at 7 pm, look at the car park, read the notice board and judge the upkeep yourself before you commit.
Facilities the developer puts first
The developer’s own description leads with rooftop farms, swimming pools, a sky gym, a Jacuzzi and children’s water slides. For families that is the argument for choosing a large condominium over a walk-up flat in the same township.
5.1 km from the airport, 1.1 km from the night market
Straight-line, Penang International Airport is 5.1 km away and the Teluk Kumbar weekly night market 1.1 km. Households with someone working at the airport or in the Bayan Lepas industrial zone are the natural owners and tenants here.
Malaysians only — and check the conditions on the unit
The permit figures run from RM40,000 to RM398,000, all far below the island’s floor for non-citizens, and the developer itself describes the project as affordable housing. Homes sold under a price-controlled category can carry state conditions on who may buy and when they may be resold. Ask me to check the specific unit before you plan around it.
A big community, with charges and Block C plans unpublished
1,029 homes share one site, so lift waiting time, car park allocation and the single road in are worth testing at peak hour. The developer’s current page gives no unit sizes, bedroom counts or monthly charges, and the register gives only one size for each component. The six condominium layouts on this page, Type A to Type F, listed at 800 to 1,350 sq ft, come from the developer’s former project website (ramahpavilion.com, archived); no drawing of the Block C homes is published. I will confirm the type and get the charges for the exact unit in writing.
The whole development, decoded
Every number here is the developer’s own or the government register’s.
Pick your block
Block A
The register files Block A as 258 flats / condominium units in a 39-storey building, 100% built with a certificate of completion and compliance dated 12 June 2018. Its advertising permit carried a band of RM358,000 to RM398,000 — the band on the advertising permit, not the price of any unit. The register’s unit list shows 242 homes numbered A-, on floors 2 to 38, every one marked sold.
Block B
Block B is the biggest component on the register: 501 flats / condominium units in a 36-storey building, also 100% built with the same 12 June 2018 certificate. Its permit band was RM198,000 to RM358,000 — again the band on the advertising permit, not the price of any unit. The unit list shows 399 homes numbered B-, on floors 2 to 35, all marked sold. Blocks A and B together make 759, the figure M Summit Group gives for the condominium.
Block C
The register lists two further components in a 17-storey building, 135 units each, with permit figures of RM40,000 and RM65,000 — single figures, the same minimum and maximum, and far below the two towers. The register does not label the category, but single figures at that level are what price-controlled low-cost and low-medium-cost homes look like. The unit list shows 263 homes numbered C-, on floors 2 to 17, all marked sold. These are not counted in the developer’s 759.
Facilities, level by level
The first list is as named on M Summit Group’s project page. The second is read from the developer’s Level 12 facilities plan, shown in the gallery below; it dates from the sales period, so ask me if a particular facility matters to you and I will check it on site.

Where the project is now
Ramah Pavilion layouts and unit sizes
Six condominium layouts, Type A to Type F, are shown with the developer’s own drawings from its former project website; the sizes are the ones on the developer’s fact sheet, from 800 to 1,350 sq ft. They line up with the register, which records one size per component: 116 sq m (about 1,249 sq ft) for Block A and 74 sq m (about 797 sq ft) for Block B. The two Block C components are recorded at 59 and 62 sq m (about 635 and 667 sq ft) and have no published drawing. A single register figure per component means individual units differ, so tell me the unit and I will confirm its type.

1,029 on the register, 759 on the developer’s page
The register splits Ramah Pavilion into four components: 501 units in a 36-storey building, 258 in a 39-storey building, and two lots of 135 in a 17-storey building. The first two add up to 759, exactly the figure on M Summit Group’s page; the other 270 are the lower-priced Block C. The separate unit list is shorter — 904 homes (242 in A, 399 in B, 263 in C), every one marked sold — and the register does not explain the difference from 1,029.
What the permit band tells you — and why foreigners are out
The permit recorded RM358,000 to RM398,000 for Block A, RM198,000 to RM358,000 for Block B, and single figures of RM40,000 and RM65,000 for the two Block C components. That is the band on the advertising permit, not the price of any unit, and it dates from the original sale. Penang Island’s floor for a non-citizen buying strata property is RM1,000,000, so the whole band is below it, and affordable-category homes are closed to foreigners in any case.
Schedule H, 36 months, no extension on record
The sale and purchase agreement was Schedule H (strata) with the standard 36-month delivery period. The first agreement on the register is dated 22 January 2015, which gives 22 January 2018 as the delivery date under that agreement. No approved extension is recorded, the certificate of completion and compliance is dated 12 June 2018, and the register shows no vacant-possession date. I report those dates as they stand; your solicitor can confirm the handover history of a particular unit.
Completed, permit expired, resale only
All four components are shown as 100% built and the overall status is ‘Siap Dengan CCC’ — completed with certificate. Three advertising permits were issued between January 2015 and January 2018; the last expired on 16 January 2019 and no newer one is listed. Treat that as something to confirm if anyone tells you there is still developer stock. On the register’s own unit list, nothing is unsold.
About M Summit Group
M Summit Group is a Penang developer which, by its own account, was founded in 2000 by Dato’ Albert Moh See Eng. Its website lists residential, commercial, hospitality and renewable-energy interests, with its office at Menara M Summit on Jalan Magazine in George Town.
The projects it names alongside Ramah Pavilion are Scots Pavilion on Scotland Road, the MSCity I and II factory parks in Bayan Lepas, Tuan Pavilion and London Pavilion, together with The Granite Luxury Hotel, which the group operates.
The developer describes Ramah Pavilion as ‘Penang’s first affordable housing project by a private developer’, a freehold condominium with resort-style facilities in Teluk Kumbar. It gives 2018 as the completion year and 759 as the number of units.
One honest note on the record: the register shows a first agreement dated 22 January 2015, a 36-month delivery period with no approved extension, and a certificate of completion and compliance dated 12 June 2018 — a few months after the date the first agreement implies. It also lists only this one project under the licence, so the register on its own cannot show you a longer delivery history. For a completed building that matters less than the condition of the block today, which you can see for yourself.
Frequently asked questions
How many units are there at Ramah Pavilion?
M Summit Group gives 759 units for the condominium. The government register records 1,029 for the whole project: 258 in the 39-storey Block A, 501 in the 36-storey Block B and 270 in the 17-storey Block C.
Blocks A and B add up to the developer’s 759. The 270 homes in Block C are a separate, lower-priced component on the same site.
Is Ramah Pavilion freehold?
Yes, according to the developer: M Summit Group’s project page states the tenure as freehold.
The register does not show the tenure for this project, so the title search your solicitor runs on the specific unit is the final word — including whether the strata title has been issued and whether any restriction is endorsed on it.
What are the unit sizes at Ramah Pavilion?
The register records sizes from 59 to 116 sq m, about 635 to 1,249 sq ft, with one figure for each component: 116 sq m for the 39-storey Block A, 74 sq m for the 36-storey Block B, and 59 and 62 sq m for the two 17-storey Block C components. It does not record bedroom or bathroom counts.
The developer’s current page publishes no layouts, but its former project website (ramahpavilion.com, archived) lists six condominium types: Type A at 1,350 sq ft with four bedrooms, and Types B to F at 1,250, 1,150, 1,050, 950 and 800 sq ft, each with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The drawings are on this page. Tell me the block and floor you are looking at and I will confirm which type that unit is.
Can foreigners buy at Ramah Pavilion?
No. Penang Island’s minimum for a non-citizen buying strata property is RM1,000,000, and the entire permit band here is below it. Affordable, low-cost and medium-cost homes are also closed to foreigners in Penang.
If you are a foreign buyer looking at the south of the island, tell me your budget and I will point you to projects that clear the state floor, and explain the state consent, the levy and the flat 8% stamp duty that applies to non-citizens.
When was Ramah Pavilion completed?
In 2018. The register shows a certificate of completion and compliance dated 12 June 2018 for all four components, and the developer’s page gives 2018 as the completion year.
The first sale and purchase agreement on the register is dated 22 January 2015, so the building has been occupied for about eight years. Anything you buy now is a resale unit from an existing owner.
Which block should I look at?
Blocks A and B are the condominium the developer markets: A is the taller and smaller of the two, with 258 units over 39 storeys; B has 501 units over 36 storeys. Fewer homes sharing a block usually means shorter lift queues, so compare both at peak hour.
Block C is the 17-storey, lower-priced component. If a Block C unit is put to you, ask me first which eligibility and resale conditions are attached to it.
What is the price and the maintenance fee?
The only public price information is the government permit band from the original sale: RM358,000 to RM398,000 for Block A, RM198,000 to RM358,000 for Block B, and RM40,000 and RM65,000 for Block C — the band on the advertising permit, not the price of any unit. I will not repeat figures from property portals.
The developer has not published the maintenance charge or sinking fund. Message me and I will send what owners are asking today and the current charges from the management office in writing.
How does Ramah Pavilion compare with Emerald Residence?
Both are completed freehold condominiums in Teluk Kumbar, 2.7 km apart in a straight line. Emerald Residence, by TPPT, is 411 units in three 28-storey blocks with homes of 1,114 to 1,183 sq ft, completed in December 2020 on the register.
Ramah Pavilion is older, much larger at 1,029 homes, and spans a wider size range starting from 59 sq m. Choose Ramah Pavilion for the lower entry point; choose Emerald Residence if you want a newer building and a smaller community.
Is Ramah Pavilion practical for daily life or for renting out?
For daily life: the Teluk Kumbar weekly night market is 1.1 km away in a straight line, SMK Telok Kumbar 2.2 km, Pantai Hospital Penang 6.2 km and Queensbay Mall 9.2 km. You will want a car; this is a quiet corner of the island, not a walkable town centre.
For renting: tenants here are mostly people working at the airport, 5.1 km away, and in the Bayan Lepas industrial zone. I do not quote rental figures, and a unit sold under a price-controlled category may be restricted from letting or resale for a period. Check that before you buy with tenants in mind.
Ask which units are available now
Completed projects change hands unit by unit, and whatever the developer still holds moves too. Tell me your budget and whether you’re buying to live in or to let — I’ll send back the units that actually fit.

The unit mix, the permitted price and how far up it is
None of this table is the developer’s account of itself. It is what the Ministry of Housing and Local Government records from the 7(f) returns: unit type, bedrooms and bathrooms, built-up area, unit count, the price range on the permit, and the certified percentage complete. A brochure price can be revised; the price on the permit was filed. A brochure need not mention progress; the percentage is certified. The status vocabulary is theirs too: Lancar (on schedule), Lewat (behind), Sakit (sick), Terbengkalai (abandoned).

What to do with the number. Read it against the delivery date in your own agreement, not against what a salesperson says. A project with a year left on its statutory clock and a third of the building up is telling you something the brochure will not.
