Tourism, Arts, and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing: Why must Mas Ermieyati confuse the public and claim that the programme only sides with applicants from China? What is she trying to convey through provocations by picking on a specific country? 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]”.
Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing said it would take one or two months to obtain approval from the various ministries before the latest conditions on MM2H applicants could be finalised.
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.
It’s better late than never for us to get back in the game.
“The government’s intent to review the requirements as well as facilitate and expedite the processing of MM2H applications via a one-stop centre is definitely a step in the right direction,” said Datuk NK Tong, president of Rehda.
