She stated: &#8220;FDI is one of the income streams of Malaysia, where the MM2H Programme is a subset of this income stream. As such, the MM2H participants are actually investors to Malaysia. To facilitate or to promote this inflow of funds, it is thus crucial for the government to have a speedy and seamless process of admissions.&#8221;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/en\/6-of-the-finest-spots-to-visit-in-the-evolving-town-of-penang-malaysia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Related: 6 of the finest spots to visit in the evolving town of Penang, Malaysia<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Currently, the MM2H programme&#8217;s stringent requirements, such as fixed deposit amounts and property value thresholds, have posed challenges for potential investors. To address this, Dato\u2019 Sr Lau said that the government needs a more tailored approach, matching the financial requirements to the specific regions within the country. This would acknowledge the significant variations in property values across different areas and create a more enticing environment for prospective investors.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&#8220;It must be remembered that these investors are providing economic spin-offs not only in the recreation and hospitality sectors, but may include the education and many related property development sectors.
