KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 744 Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) participants have purchased properties in Malaysia, with the majority of buyers hailing from China, Taiwan, and Singapore.
Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing told the Dewan Rakyat that another 2,637 participants are currently in the process of acquiring homes, including finalising sale and purchase agreements.
“As of Dec 31, 2025, the top 10 nationalities for property purchases under the new phase of MM2H were China with 304 buyers, followed by Taiwan (91), Singapore (63), United States (41), United Kingdom (40), Hong Kong (34), Australia (29), Bangladesh (19), South Korea (15), Indonesia (14), and Japan (14).”
Tiong said that the MM2H programme does not grant citizenship or permanent residency.
These are divided into four categories: Platinum (20 years), Gold (15 years), Silver (5 years), and Special Economic Zone (10 years).
“The pass validity for all categories is five years per cycle. Participants may renew it until the full duration of their respective category expires,” he said.
Responding to a question from Datuk Mohd Isam Mohd Isa (BN-Tampin) on plans to diversify participation beyond China and Taiwan, Tiong said the programme is open to applicants worldwide.
“Don’t politicise this. Applicants from Arab countries are also accepted, and some have made purchases, although the numbers are not large. We will further intensify promotional efforts,” he said.
