GEORGE TOWN: Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) participants hope the government will consider exempting them from having to meet stricter new conditions in the programme. This is good news,” said Hong Kong citizen Ginny So (pic), who spent 10 years in Penang before returning to Hong Kong last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Zeon Properties business development director Ronaldo Lim, who is involved in the MM2H programme, said it would be a waste if MM2H participants decide to leave due to terms and requirements they cannot meet. Yesterday, Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin announced that MM2H participants might be exempted from having to comply with some parts of the new conditions. Between 2002 and 2019, the MM2H programme generated a cumulative income of RM11.89bil through fees and visa charges, purchase of properties and vehicles, fixed deposits and monthly household expenditures.
