KULAI: Two technicians’ hopes of owning a house were dashed when the property agent they were dealing with failed to repay their loans as promised.

One of the victims, who only wanted to be known as Wong, 36, said he first saw a post about the Youth Home Scheme on social media in June 2017, and decided to attend a talk at the agent’s office in Taman Impian Emas to learn more.
