Tiong gesa tindakan tegas peserta MM2H salah guna program
Menteri pelancongan, seni dan budaya menggesa bertindak tegas terhadap peserta MM2H yang dilarang berniaga, tetapi masih terbabit kegiatan perniagaan.
The Malaysian Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (Motac) has urged stringent action against MM2H holders who misuse the program, including engaging in illegal business activities. Only platinum category individuals are permitted to work, invest or run a business in Malaysia under the current MM2H regulations. High-value, gold and platinum category participants need to obtain a permit if they wish to work or trade.
Motac emphasized the need for immediate action following today's MM2H meeting, which discussed safety concerns, inconsistent monitoring periods and cases involving holders misusing the law. All MM2H applications must undergo police security screening, and applicants aged 18 and above must provide a good conduct certificate or equivalent documentation.
The MM2H program was introduced in 2002 to allow foreigners to live in Malaysia long-term, before being suspended in August 2020 for review and relaunched with new conditions. Participants must make a fixed deposit and purchase property, with the amount depending on their category.
