KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government will be looking for high yields from participants of the Sabah-Malaysia My Second Home (SBH-MM2H) programme.

State Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Christina Liew said the state government had approved the prerequisites for the programme.

"Among the terms and conditions of the SBH-MM2H programme are a minimum stay of 30 days a year, and the approved duration for an individual or family is for 5+5 years for stay in Sabah only.

"Others are the eligibility to purchase property at RM600,000 and above, certification of good conduct from the applicant's country of origin, medical check-up certificate and opening of a bank account in any local bank in Sabah with a fixed deposit of RM200,000.00," she said in a statement after the state cabinet meeting.

"It is anticipated that these participants will create a significant impact on the state's economy, especially in real property and tourism industries," she added.
