GEORGE TOWN – Born blind and abandoned at birth, Esah Hussin epitomises the adage that anything is possible with grit and determination.
The telemarketing officer, 42, has just moved into her newly bought low-medium-cost apartment in Tanjung Tokong which she bought for RM72,500 (S$23,730) in cash.
She had saved the money for 19 years, setting aside at least RM500 from her monthly salary working as a file assembler and telemarketing officer over the years.
In Malaysia, flats costing below RM100,000 are usually labelled low or medium cost apartments, and sold to those with limited family incomes.
“I am happy and contented with what I have today,” Ms Esah said. “I just moved into the unit and some of my friends and colleagues came over for a mini house-warming party.”
She added at her house on Monday (Dec 16): “I am still getting used to my new place and living alone.
“Many people supported and motivated me along the way and I am glad that I did not let them down.”
Ms Esah first applied to buy a low-medium-cost apartment in 2014 but the form was misplaced.
