KUALA LUMPUR - The Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme generated an economic value of RM8.85 billion in just over two years, from October 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. Deputy Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Chiew Choon Man revealed that the programme saw 7,650 new applications across Platinum, Gold, Silver and Special Economic Zone categories during this period.

The Minister added that MM2H has significantly contributed to expanding Malaysia's foreign direct investment, bringing billions of ringgit into the country in a short time. China was the leading source of applications, followed by Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United States. To reach key target markets like Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea, the MM2H One Stop Centre plans to organize overseas sales missions to these regions.

Chiew also mentioned meeting key industry players and stakeholders at the 14th MM2H National Workshop 2026 to gather feedback and ensure the programme maintains its global reputation by adhering to regulatory compliance, transparency, and integrity.
