Government Support

Low Financial Requirement, No Risk

All you need is to open a fixed deposit account of MYR300,000.00 (for 50 years old and above is MYR150,000.00) in a local bank.

No Minimum Stay

Tropical Climate

Malaysia is close to the equator with tropical weather throughout the year. You can enjoy your outdoor activities anytime, anywhere.
