China Press · "A million Chinese relocating through MM2H?" — Anthony: it's a fabrication

China Press reports Anthony Liew's pointed rebuttal to DAP's Saifuddin Nasution-adjacent claims that the MM2H programme would bring "a million Chinese residents" to Malaysia. Anthony calls the figure a fabrication. In reality, fewer than 60,000 applications have been approved since MM2H began in 2002 — and Mainland Chinese applicants, while a major share, are nowhere near the scale the rhetoric implied.

Anthony uses the piece to reset the public narrative: MM2H applicants are vetted, licensed-agent-supported, and contribute meaningfully to property, banking, education and tourism. Scaremongering about the programme, he argues, damages Malaysia's standing as a predictable residency destination and hurts the very sectors MM2H was designed to support.
