Immigration and visa problems

7 years ago
I’ve been living in Malaysia for a year on a tourist visa, taking a short trip out every three months. I work online as a writer and editor (not for a Malaysian company) so I can work from anywhere. I rent an apartment long term and have pets and don’t want to leave any time soon. However, when I returned from a visa run today, I was told it’s suspicious that I have so many stamps in my passport and no return ticket. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any way to stay here without trying to get a job or studying?
