Muslim Consumers’ Association of Malaysia (PPIM) chairman Nadzim Johan said those who wished to help the family could contribute to the fund.

“The family’s problem is still pending. I understand that the bank involved will auction off the house to recover the outstanding loan amount.”

He hoped members of the public would contribute to the fund.

“We hope this special fund to some extent can help ease their financial burden and cover the cost of the bank loan,” he said when contacted by Bernama here today.

In a post which went viral on social media recently, an individual known as Lee Hui Sen let go of a home in Subang 2, near here, which he had won in an auction, after sympathising with the family seen to be still living there.

Lee, who had reportedly paid a RM44,500 deposit to purchase the home in the auction, even gave up the sum to enable the occupants to continue living in the house and renegotiate their loan with the bank.

He did not meet the residents in person but only expressed his message through a letter left at the home.

The homeowners, who only wanted to be known as S, 47, and Nor, 42, then handed the letter to PPIM.

Nadzim said they had been trying to locate Lee for the past two months but with no success.

Therefore, he urged the public or Lee’s family members who had any information on the whereabouts of the Good Samaritan to contact PPIM.

“Lee’s identity remains a mystery. For now, we do not have any information or record of him. It is important to meet him to discuss the rescheduling of payments to the bank.”

Nadzim said this was because Lee was considered the owner of the house after he paid the deposit.

Accordingly, any discussion about rescheduling payments to the bank needs to involve Lee, he said, adding that they also wanted to show their appreciation and recognition for his good deeds.

“This is a noble act and should be emulated by all Malaysians,” he said.
