You have to select a company which is licensed by the Ministry of Tourism Malaysia especially designed to serve the MM2H applicants.
1)
We provide you the following general guidelines to choose the MM2H agent / sponsor according to your needs : 
In order to save the "middle-man" cost, you should go directly to the MM2H Licensed Agent Companies. The names of all MM2H licensed companies must bear the sign "(MM2H) Sdn Bhd" in their company names; i.e.: Joy-Stay (MM2H) Sdn Bhd. 
The person-in-charge of your selected MM2H company must be able to communicate well with you and to convey the correct message to you; Some companies have personnel who speak certain foreign languages in order to serve their clients more effectively and efficiently.
Licensed MM2H Agents are required to provide an agreement detailing the fees and scope of services for applicant to sign. Please go through the agreement carefully before you engage the MM2H agent; this is to safeguard your interests because once you appoint an agent it will be difficult to change your agent unless you intend to waive the down payment already paid to the agent.
Before you engage a MM2H agent, it is very important to request the agent to provide the fees payable to all relevant parties as below:
You should engage MM2H Agent who can provide clear explanation of the MM2H requirements & charges involved in the MM2H application.
Some agents might not be able to provide all the additional services that you required; but they should be able to guide or direct you to those who specialized in the designated fields to assist you according to your needs.   
Please bear in mind that hidden charges can come in many ways, apart from paying the agent, you are advised to obtain the other fee charges in writing prior to engaging or appointing your MM2H agent. It will be costly and time consuming for you to change your agent after you have delivered the documents for submission purposes.
If you are well traveled and are able to arrange for your own accommodation and transportation, there is no need for you to select a agent who charges for these arrangements.

It is strongly advisable to select an agent who do not include the visa fee chargeable by the Immigration Department unless your passport is valid for 10 years; this is due to that fact that if your agent's company ceases its operation in the future,  it will be quite difficult for you to request for the refunds in the future.
There are about 200+  MM2H companies licensed by the Ministry of Tourism Malaysia, however not all companies are active. It is advisable to check around and compare their fees and scope of services provided accordingly.
If you select an agent who charges high non-refundable processing fee, you should have the confidence that the sponsor will obtain the MM2H approval for you.  
In reality, some agents are very well experienced in this Programme and some are quite new, the time spent during the application process actually depends on the experience of the MM2H agents; not able to compile the documents required by the Ministry is a key factor affecting the time spent. Thus, selecting a competent MM2H agent who reviews the required documents thoroughly and carefully prior to the MM2H submission is a very important step.
