A weekend session where we share everything related to education in Malaysia. Feel free to ask us anything via Direct message .

This week we have : What's the latest changes to MM2H?

Answer: MM2H is also known as the Malaysia, my 2nd home programme. It allows foreigner to live in Malaysia.

With ample education channel, career opportunities, rising quality of life and relatively low living cost compared to overseas, Malaysia is a hotspot for well-to-do foreigners as well expats retiree. However due to the ongoing Covid pandemic, the programme was put to a halt since July 2020.

Recently however, Malaysia has reopened this programme. Once again accepting new applications but with a stricter guidelines. Here are the changes:

(1) Under the new MM2H 2021 requirements, applicants must first of all prove they have liquid assets worth MYR1.5 million ($483,000) – a substantial hike from the previous range of MYR350,000-500,000, depending on the applicant's age.

(2) Successful MM2H applications will need to have an offshore income of at least than MYR40,000 ($12,880) per month – a four-fold increase over the previous MYR10,000 monthly income – and must reside in Malaysia for at least 90 days per year.

(3) MM2H participants must maintain a fixed deposit account in Malaysia with a balance of MYR1 million ($322,000) from which they can withdraw no more than half during their stay – with those withdrawals only permitted for real estate, health care and the educational fees of any children.

(4) The tenure of the renewable multiple-entry visa has been reduced to five years from 10 years previously

(5) The renewal fees for the visa has been increased from RM90 a year to RM500 a year

(6) The processing fee for MM2H applicants will now be RM5,000 for the principal participant and RM2,500 for each dependent. Previously, there was no processing fee.

With these stricter guidelines, it will definitely impact overseas/ expats enrolments into International schools residing in Malaysia. Tough time indeed.

Sometimes less is more. And that is the approach we used when we created the Cranfield University landing page for our client, Inquota.

Attention span is getting shorter, and we will have to play it smart when it comes to capturing a potential prospect's attention.

Always :
-Summarize and go straight to the point

Don't :
- Include unnecessary details that make yourself feel good but is irrelevant to your prospect

Throwback to these artworks we created for KGIS.

When running a traffic ad on Facebook, you will have the option to create an ad using a couple of different photos. That is what we call a carousel ad.

Is carousel ad better or a single image ad better? Well, it depends. For our company , we prefer carousel as we are able to track which image is more popular amongst our potential prospect.

And that is a measurable data point, something that we can use to further improvise our client's ad. But more on that later.

The power of lead magnet. Generated over 600 leads within the span of months, with each lead only costing us about 4 to 5 ringgit.

What's a lead magnet? Basically it's attracting the attention of your prospect by giving them tremendous value in return for their personal information.

In this scenario, we always knew that parents compare a few different schools before they make their choice and it's a hectic and long process.

What if we do the research for them? What if we list down everything in a simple table for them and save them time?

That, my friend, is value. And as long as you can ensure that you provide more value than how much they value their own personal information, they will always accept your offer and provide you their details in return.

It's an effective form of lead generation. Proven and still working in 2021.
