ALL counters at the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) centre on levels two and 10 of the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry have been closed till April 30 to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Minister Nancy Shukri, in a statement today, said this is because most of the centre’s visitors are foreigners from various countries.

“This measure is important to reduce the probability of MM2H personnel being infected with the virus.”

She said during the closure period, applications for the programme can be submitted via post, while those for withdrawals and other account-related matters can be emailed to [email protected].

For applications involving payments at the Immigration Department counter at the MM2H centre, applicants should make appointments in advance, she said.

“All new application endorsements will be postponed. Those who have queries can call the centre at 03-8891-7424.”

Nancy said the closure of the counters will not affect MM2H as alternative procedures have been put in place, adding that the ministry is committed to fighting the coronavirus. – Bernama, March 15, 2020.
