For the past three years, Nor and her husband have been living in a state of uncertainty due to issues with their house in Subang 2, near Shah Alam.

Due to defaults in bank loan repayment, the bank that provided the housing loan put the house up for auction. To compound the matter, the couple was also declared bankrupt.

However, now the 42-year-old, who refused to reveal her full name, and her husband can breathe a sigh of relief, for the Muslim Consumers Association of Malaysia (PPIM) intervened and successfully negotiated with the bank to alleviate the couple's suffering.

The couple will get to keep their house for now and Affin Bank, which provided the loan, has also agreed to annul their bankruptcy status.
