The fate of Country Garden Holdings Co.’s $100 billion project in southern Malaysia remains in limbo as Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said foreigners are welcome to invest, but they might not be allowed to stay for long in their new homes.

"They can buy the property, but we won’t give them a visa to come and live here," Mahathir said Tuesday, according to The Malay Mail.
