KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 18): Bersatu's Masjid Tanah MP Datuk Mas Ermieyati Samsudin (pictured) has come under fire for insinuating that the newly revamped Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme will give automatic permanent residency to applicants from China.

The minimum age requirement of the revamped MM2H has also been been lowered to 30 years, together with an expanded list of eligible dependents.

Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry will also be reviewing agents involved in the MM2H scheme, “requiring them to re-register”.

In Budget 2024, Putrajaya plans to “relax” the current conditions for MM2H applications.

Sarawak tourism, creative industry and performing arts minister Abdul Karim Rahman said this is “probably because our conditions are more attractive [compared to the national MM2H]”.

Each of the three categories, Platinum, Gold, and Silver, will require a different amount of permanent applicants’ savings PETALING JAYA (June 23): In the latest development involving the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H), the government will “set the requirements” to divide the programme into three categories.
