Hin withdrew money from his EPF while Jin withdrew money from his savings to pay for 70% of the purchase price. The remaining 30% was paid by a bank loan taken by the two brothers. Two years after the purchase, the brothers were approached by a used car dealer who wished to buy the land. The brothers declined the offer to sell the land but agreed to rent it out to the used car dealer for a period of 3 years. Upon expiry of the tenancy agreement apportion of the land was planted with fruits which were distributed among the brothers; relatives and friends.
