Thanks Michael. I live in KL, and have for 40 years. With MM2H up in the air currently, I'm looking at spending 3 months alternately in KL and Phuket, as an ongoing thing, in retirement. I'm pretty certain that this 3 month in 3 month out routine in Malaysia is acceptable. I guess the short answer is suck it and see?
