杜汶澤這段節目精華看了又看還是覺得很過癮。先說明一下，我對大房子沒有感覺，亦不知道房子住得這麼寬敞到底有何用處，但我祇想從現實層面研究一下：實際上，在霹靂州首府怡保是有可能人人住得起六千呎大屋。

去年疫情剛剛在馬來西亞爆發，上台就任才兩週的首相慕尤丁宣佈全國封鎖，經濟活動幾乎完全停擺，房地產產業當然亦無法倖免地慘澹經營。記得那時候我在網上瀏覽就看到怡保市區附近有大房子以五百令吉的優惠價（粵語說「跳樓價」）放租，呎數多少我忘記了，反正就是一千多平方呎以上。若有人當時眼明手快以每個月五百元租下來簽兩年合同，應該是非常划算的交易。

Harsh regulations? More to come, mate. For you to enjoy a full or semi retirement in Malaysia, a country famous for its relaxing lifestyle, even if you can afford to meet the much higher financial criteria of MM2H, in future you will need to worry about visa extension every five years. Previously approved for ten years at each renewal, Continue reading “MM2H getting unrealistically expensive 大馬第二家園貴得離譜”
