Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) by Hansson
The Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) Visa was initially introduced as a Retirement Visa for foreigners interested in moving to and settling in Malaysia. Basically it is a 10 year Social Visit Pass with Multiple Entry that allows you to go and come as ...
For me it was just a renewal application. Mine expired late last year and I went over to Putrajaya and got an extension within a day. Nothing changed; no extra conditions added. Now that it is under Immigration, I hope things will not ... Read More
The lessons of the crisis in Malaysia by Lo茂c
Hello everyone, While there is still a certain amount of uncertainty in our lives, the situation seems to be beginning to change in Malaysia and globally. We have had to show courage, tenacity and even ingenuity in many areas, in the way we ...
I am not an economist but I do believe the Multiplier factor is pretty significant. I have been renting for the past 15 years (and not a month in arrears!) and my general expenses run around 8 - 10k (RM) per month, and if you multiple that by the ... Read More

Accommodation between KL and Puchong by Farhan19
Hi all, I'm moving to Malaysia in January 2020 to work in an area called Puchong. I've visited KL and really loved the city but from my research, Puchong seems to be quite far from the centre of KL. I was wondering if anyone here knows any ...
There is a great place that you can hang out near Bandar Puteri Puchong (BPP) called Setia Walk. You can google it - a lot of eateries etc and also about 1 km away is the IOI area. There are quite a lot of residences around the area and the LRT ... Read More
Landlord issues? by AB_anup
