OUR FUTURE PLANS HALTED

"My wife and I got married last year March 2008, and we purchased the unit just one month before our wedding. We had been searching high and low for 3 months for a suitable home to start our married life together. And we chanced upon Paramount View booth in Carrefour Subang and immediately made a booking for the unit during the CNY 2008 holidays. And confirmed our booking and went through a stressful time with the loans as they were all "encouraging" and hounding us to take their loans.

We were promised that it would be ready by December 2008, and many other things; such as card access at the carpark, to the lobby to each unit. Based on this decision we agreed that we would tough it out in a rented room for the first year.. now it's nearly 2 years.

So, once we confirmed on one bank, we let the matter rest and then went on our merry way to purchase our unit. It was a leap of faith that we took in purchasing this unit, because we didn't know how we were really going to make the payments. However, thanks be to God that he has allowed us to earn sufficiently to pay for the condo in the past 1.5 years.

We have been steadily paying the full installments because we believe that it is not good to just serve the interest and allow the principal to remain. We maintained the rental of a room and have been sharing the house with housemates for the past nearly 1.5 years. Like any newly married we would like to have our own privacy, but we are left stranded with no condo in sight.

So you can just imagine how much a couple with average pay is paying for Rental of a room and Full payment for a condo is doing right now. We thank God our lives are simple enough for us to manage this.

My parents have been expecting to spend Christmas 2009 with us in Kuala Lumpur. And with the hold of this unit and no sign of progress in sight, we are left wondering what are we going to do with the Stove unit, water heaters & fans we have purchased for the house. They are cluttering up our own room. We have put so much effort into saving and invested so much, but what do we have in hand?

This is not the first experience we've had, whereby my wife made a purchase of an apartment in Subang Jaya a number of years ago, but that project was halted. And with no sign of completion in sight. How can the authorities allow such things go unnoticed.

Each day my wife and I pass by our PVC and pray that the completion will be done in due time. We can only have faith and hope, for we need a home to have our child that we are planning for in the very near future. We pray that all our neighbours who have rallied together will also pray that we will be given what is due to us in the right timing. Pray with us.

"May God who is just and merciful do as He pleases with those whom He has put in places of authority and responsibility, for vengence is not mine."
