PETALING JAYA:
The good deed of a “Good Samaritan”, who decided to forgo RM44,500 he paid as 10% deposit for a house he bought at an auction, may come to nought unless the bank relents and does not re-auction the home again.

The Sun Daily talked to the owner of the house in Subang 2, who identified herself only as Nor.

She told the daily that they had been trying to speak to the bank for months to work out their loan repayment but they wouldn’t see them.

Nor admitted they had fallen back on their mortgage payments over the past two years because her husband had lost his job.

She said they were still left in the dark by their bank as to what they owed.

“My husband has been declared bankrupt which is very difficult for us.”

She said she only knew the house was to be auctioned when the auction notice was distributed to all homes in the area.

“One day, I looked into my post box and found the auction notice flyer that they had sent to the whole neighbourhood.”

Nor and her husband are now living there with their two children in constant fear as to when they would have to vacate their house.

The “Good Samaritan”, identified as Lee Hui Sen, had taken pity on the family and hoped the deposit paid would be used by the bank to renegotiate whatever is owed to them.

He wrote a letter to them to contact the bank and advised them to cut away the trees and shrubs that were keeping positive energy from flowing into the home and causing them troubles.

Nor said she was very thankful to Lee for his kind act.

“If I can talk to him, I would like to thank him personally. What he did was surprising and unbelievable.”

She said she had been notified by her bank that the house would be auctioned off again.

“The nightmare has not ended. Although what Lee did was good, the bank is still going to auction off our house and someone else is going to buy it,” she said.

The Muslim Consumers Association of Malaysia’s (PPIM) head activist Nadzim Johan, who is trying to help the family, said it was trying to locate Lee but could not find him.
