A YOUNG man who spent more than four months sleeping in his car has been given a fresh start after a couple offered him their apartment rent-free, Harian Metro reported.
Fadhullah Fiziria Shah Shahnun Azli, known as Fizi, moved into the unit near Taman Bangi Avenue after businessman Imran Khan Sulaiman and his wife, Isdatul Asyirin Ismail, learnt of his plight through news reports and videos shared on social media.
Imran Khan, 33, said the couple had bought the apartment in 2022 and received the keys in October last year, but had yet to move in.
“Rather than leaving the apartment empty, we felt it would be better for Fizi to stay there.”
He said he made the decision after discussing the matter with his wife, adding that they bought a mattress and other necessities before helping Fizi move in.
