REFERRING to the report “Speed up approval process for MM2H” (The Star, April 2), while the issue is the need to speed up the processing of the applications, a more important question is the effectiveness and outcome of the MM2H (Malaysia My Second Home) programme.

It would be interesting to know what the numbers are to date and the impact of the programme, including how much has been spent on it and the revenue collected.
