In desperate need of money to pay for his son’s cancer treatment, a Malaysian man has resorted to putting up his beloved BMW for sale.
Erwan Shah Mohd Asen, 43, who works as a mechanic in Johor Bahru, took to Facebook last Saturday (March 23) to seek an urgent buyer for his BMW sedan.
“It’s a model E39 and the ownership that is registered in my name is adjustable. RM18,000 (S$5,100) is the selling price,” he wrote in Malay.
In an interview with Harian Metro, Erwan said that his 16-year-old son, Muhammad Adif Zafran, was recently diagnosed with stage one intestinal cancer.
To pay for the chemotherapy sessions — estimated to cost about RM50,000 — Erwan said he has no choice but to sell his car, which he bought for around RM30,000 five years ago.
“I don’t know how to raise that much money, so I posted an ad on Facebook,” he said.
Adif, the eldest son, has undergone chemotherapy thrice and has been warded at Sultanah Aminah Hospital for the past two weeks.
