"While the apartment was abandoned, I had to pay RM1,400 a month for the loan since 2004 apart from paying 10% of the house price of RM140,000 as deposit," he told reporters, here today.
Mohamed Fuad who is a bank retiree, said he and his family had to put up at his parents' house in Kampung Chabang Tiga Kamil here over the predicament.
Zaharin Zakaria,40, said the developer's failure forced him to rent a house at RM400 a month apart from paying his government housing loan instalment of RM850.
He hopes the government would assist the buyers to settle their problems.
A businessman, Hassan Sidek, 57, said he had to pay a bank loan instalment of RM1,158 a month and had also paid RM15,000 when booking the house.
"My friends and I had met the developer to resume construction of the apartment but failed," he said.
