Print ad translation: Mohamad had a list drawn up of what he wanted to achieve before he reached the age of 30. And his list was really quite extensive but he was determined to tick them all off. The next big thing on this list was to get his own home because then he would be able to have the freedom to do what he wished. He had a mini theatre, a gaming room in mind. For now, however, he couldn’t as the family home was fully occupied. Motivated by this Mohamad took the first step of flying off from his nest by applying for a home loan.

But Mohamad remains certain that he will find the right way to owning his own house. Bidaya Home Finance Shortens the story
