ENHANCING MALAYSIA’S EXPATRIATE SERVICES, STF REVENUE OPENS NEW TRX OFFICE AS MM2H ONE-STOP CENTRE

Malaysia’s appeal as a destination for retirees, investors, and international professionals continues to grow, and STF Revenue (MM2H) Sdn Bhd is positioning itself at the forefront of this trend. The company has officially opened its new office at The Exchange 106 @ TRX which will serve as the first privately-operated Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) one-stop centre in the country, cementing its presence in Kuala Lumpur’s financial district and demonstrating long-term confidence in the country’s economic trajectory.

The grand opening was officiated by Dato’ Shaharuddin Abu Sohot, Secretary General of the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) who underscored the economic benefits of Malaysia’s long-stay programmes. “Under MOTAC, MM2H continues to play a vital role in attracting quality long-term residents and foreign investment that strengthen our economy,” said Dato’ Shaharuddin.

The Secretary General of the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Dato’ Shaharuddin Abu Sohot (centre) officiated the first privately-operated Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) one-stop centre in the country at The Exchange 106 today, alongside Datuk Wira Joey Yan Lee Chin, Group Managing Director of STF Group (fourth from left) and Dato’ Simon David Leong, Group Managing Director of Rivertree Group (third from left).

 “The new tiered MM2H framework, SEZ, Silver, Gold, and Platinum, offers global citizens more choices and clarity. It is designed to welcome those who wish not only to live here but to grow and invest in Malaysia—in property, education, healthcare, and beyond,” he added. As of July 2025, MOTAC has recorded over 3,300 applications for the MM2H programme, a clear reflection of growing international confidence in Malaysia as a preferred destination to live and invest. These applications are projected to generate an influx of more than RM300 million in foreign funds and over RM430 million in property investments, underscoring the programme’s significant economic impact.

STF Group was founded in 2016 and has grown into a respected conglomerate specialising in manpower solutions, worker legalisation (pemutihan), foreign worker management, dormitory operations, cleaning services, and technology-driven management systems. The Group has since diversified into related sectors, including licensed agencies for the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) and Premium Visa Programme (PVIP), as well as maid services.

 “Opening our TRX retail office is more than just a physical move. It reflects our confidence in Malaysia as a lifestyle and investment destination,” expressed Jonathan Low Choon Wai, Director of International Operations at STF Revenue (MM2H) Sdn Bhd. “Our goal is to make Malaysia accessible, welcoming, and fully connected for those who want to live, invest, and build a life here.”

The event also saw the signing of a strategic partnership agreement between STF Revenue (MM2H) Sdn Bhd, represented by Datuk Wira Joey Yan Lee Chin, Group Managing Director of STF Group, and Rivertree Group, represented by Group Managing Director, Dato’ Simon David Leong (both seated) alongside (left) Jonathan Low Choon Wai, Director of International Operations of STF Revenue (MM2H) and (right) Datuk Leo Ong, Rivertree Group’s Director of Special Projects.

STF Group’s ecosystem is strengthened through strategic partnerships across multiple sectors, from real estate and hospitality to banking and travel. These collaborations ensure clients enjoy a seamless experience, from property acquisition and visa processing to settling comfortably in Malaysia.

The event also saw the signing of a strategic partnership agreement between STF Revenue (MM2H) Sdn Bhd and Rivertree Group. This collaboration brings together two visionary organizations led by Dato’ Simon David Leong, Group Managing Director of Rivertree Group, and Datuk Wira Joey Yan, Group Managing Director of STF Group. Rivertree Group is a reputable developer known for its sustainable, innovative, and community-centric developments, while STF Revenue (MM2H) specializes in facilitating long-term residency programs that welcome global citizens to Malaysia.

Through this partnership, both organizations aim to create greater pathways for individuals and families worldwide to live, invest, and thrive in Malaysia thus strengthening the nation as a destination for meaningful living, growth, and opportunity.

The grand opening also saw the support of various key industry leaders in the strategic collaboration announcement of the 10 national key economic industries, represented by, from left to right, the hotel industry, Mohamed Jafry Abdull Khathar, National Treasurer of Malaysia Budget & Business Hotel Association (MyBHA); education, Dato’ Lau Wau Ching, President of National Association of Private Education Institutions (NAPEI); insurance, Amely Mah, Senior Partner of ACP Agency; Audit, Kee Chun Ooi, Manager of Taxman Accounting; travel, Mohd Fauzi Rejab, Head of Government Business Development of Batik Air; STF Group, Datuk Wira Joey Yan Lee Chin; real estate, Dato' Simon David Leong, Group Managing Director of Rivertree Group; banking, Datuk Wan Razly Abdullah bin Wan Ali, President and Group Chief Executive Officer of Affin Bank Berhad; tourism, Dato’ Dr Angie Ng, President of Malaysian Inbound Chinese Association (MICA); Tan Lai Yan, Managing Director of OneCare Wellness; legal, Liew Sue Yin, Partner of Shin Associates.

Rivertree Group enhances the property dimension of this ecosystem, offering competitive packages to international buyers with STF complementing this by providing comprehensive visa support, guiding clients at every step via its MM2H-focused division, STF Revenue (MM2H) Sdn Bhd. “Our goal is simple: When an MM2H or PVIP resident chooses Malaysia, they don’t just receive a visa—they gain a lifestyle, a community, and a place called home,” remarked Leong.

The ecosystem is further supported by other key industry players such as travel and finance. Batik Air provides travel benefits, including complimentary round-trip tickets valued up to RM5,000 for eligible MM2H applicants under the Batik x STF programme, while STF also partners with major banks to simplify visa financial processes by assisting with fixed deposit setups, dedicated banking support, and guidance for meeting financial proof requirements.

 Presenting itself as a one-stop MM2H partner, STF offers end-to-end services to ensure a fully seamless experience for international clients, reinforcing Malaysia’s status as a premier destination for travel, investment and retirement, just in time as the country welcomes an influx of international travellers for Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026).
