Chinese buyers top the list in Malaysia’s MM2H golden visa scheme

Chinese nationals accounted for the largest share of property buyers under Malaysia’s revamped “My Second Home” (MM2H) programme, the country’s tourism minister said on Wednesday, while cautioning against politicising the issue.

Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Tiong King Sing told parliament that 744 MM2H participants bought homes in Malaysia between 2023 and 2025, with another 2,637 still negotiating purchases.

As of December 31, 304 purchases had been made by buyers from mainland China, Tiong was quoted as saying by The Star newspaper, followed by Taiwanese buyers with 91 purchases and Singaporeans with 63.

Buyers from mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong (34) together made up nearly 60 per cent of total MM2H-linked property acquisitions, he said.
