KOTA KINABALU: The State Government will start its Sabah Malaysia My Second Home (Sabah MM2H) programme on December 12, featuring recently revised criteria.

Participants in this programme may bring their dependents to Sabah, including spouses, children, parents, and parents-in-law. The yearly minimum stay requirement is 30 cumulative days, making the programme particularly appealing and accessible.

The Secretariat expressed confidence that the Sabah MM2H programme will have a positive economic impact on the state.

"It is anticipated that the economic spin-off will benefit the local market. Many potential participants have already expressed their interest, and the government is committed to ensuring the programme’s success."
