Reactivation of MM2H is applauded by MIEA. Concerns and suggestions too.
I was very happy when MM2H was reactivated with an enhanced set of requirements. I will be writing about it soon. Let’s just say that to me, MM2H is not just about getting people to come to Malaysia but it’s also a very good branding as well. The more people talk about us positively, the…

MM2H should be encouraged, enhanced.
I love MM2H and I think MM2H should be encouraged. The programme can definitely be enhanced to keep making it ever better while at the same time attractive. Every time someone tells me about some countries they love to retire in, I always ask them what are their reasons to choose that country. They will…

MM2H review? Sure, agree. Please resume processing current applications in the mean time.
MM2H programme is under review. I wrote about this earlier: MM2H is frozen. Oh dear, what’s up this time.

Gong Xi Fa Cai and Happy Holidays! UP, UP and UP is my wish.
Gong Xi Fa Cai and Happy Holidays to all. I hope everyone drives patiently and arrive in your destination safely. Perhaps this year the jam is lesser because the number of cars on the road in KL was already fewer since 13th February 2018 (Tuesday). On 14th February, it was a breeze to my office…

Foreigners love condos in Thailand and Malaysia
Within this year itself, I think I visited Bangkok 4 times. Except for the jam that never seem to end, I love Bangkok. I love the friendly people, the delicious street food and the good service in hotels. I wanted to bring my family for a visit too, perhaps next year. Every time I pass…

Property investment Malaysia, how to start?
Should we invest in Malaysian properties? Is it safe for a long time more? I hope so because I did. You did as well? Great. We are on the same boat. Anyway, what about the question of how to invest? How to start? What’s available and what are prices like? There’s one good article here…

Golfing, hot weather and Japanese interest
When I was with my first company, a Japanese MNC, my general manager told me that while golf is not considered a luxury for him in Japan, it is a scarcity. More often than not you would need to book at least weeks ahead and for some of the more popular ones, perhaps even months…
