THE Johor government hopes the home ministry will review the strict conditions of the Malaysia My Second Home Programme (MM2H).

Menteri Besar Hasni Mohammad said this was because the conditions had an impact on the state.

He said he raised the matter with Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz in a discussion this afternoon.

“The situation in Johor is different because we are neighbours with Singapore and the MM2H programme benefits us.

“We hope the home ministry will not only review the conditions but also reach a decision immediately. Johor is very much affected by the new conditions. If possible, we want the old conditions to be retained,” he told reporters after handing over 46 housing units for the resettlement of Kg Ladang Darat residents to Kg Pendas Baru in Iskandar Puteri today.

The Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, recently expressed his disappointment with the home ministry for refusing to review the strict conditions for MM2H.

He said Johor was one of MM2H’s popular destinations and the programme also contributed to the state’s revenue. – Bernama, September 19, 2021.
