Is it really cumulative? I highly doubt that. I have an uncle who is a pr and flys back to malaysia every year very often for business. He is still a pr btw. So whats your source?
Do you understand the word "cumulative"? The requirement for the Resident Return Visa (subclass 155) is to spend 2 out of 5 years in Australia on a cumulative basis, NOT an consecutive basis. In other words, lets say you spend year 1 in Australia, year 2 and 3 in Malaysia, fly back on year 4, and back to Malaysia in the middle of year 5, if you have physically spent 2 years in Australia (around 730 days) in that 5 year block, you will get the RRV.
Further reading: Paragraph 155 of the 2nd Schedule of the Migration Regulations 1994 (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_reg/mr1994227/sch2.html)
The explanatory statement in the
Migration Amendment Regulations 1999 (No. 6) is also worth a read. (http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F1999B00082/Explanatory%20Statement/Text)
