Enforce checks on MM2H participants, dependents

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) scheme has raised national security concerns due to its poor enforcement of background checks on the programme’s participants.

The Auditor-General’s 2019 Report (Series 2) revealed that while prospective programme participants were required to submit a Letter of Good Conduct (LOGC) to prove they had no criminal records, their dependents were free of this rule. “An audit check on 59 MM2H participants found that their applications were accompanied by a LOGC each. However, none submitted for their 107 dependents. This is because it is not a requirement.
