I HAVE been a strong supporter of the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme since it was first launched, and I sat on various government committees providing input into it. The suspension of the MM2H programme in July last year has resulted in a significant loss of income for the country. This has led some people, including existing visa holders, to worry that the government plans to shut down this visa. Covid-19 restrictions should have no impact on relaunching the MM2H programme, as we assume that applicants could still apply without coming to Malaysia. The government could ask them to wait until border controls are more relaxed or help the Malaysian economy sooner by allowing fully vaccinated approved applicants to enter earlier.
