Other than that, I owned an apartment unit which I purchased in year 1999 and fully settled the loan sometime in 2005. The price is probably 120K now.
The vehicle I am owning is a 10 years old Proton Wira. The insurance company said it is probably 13K in value. I also have 4 bicycles (1 adult, 3 for kids) and the estimated total value is RM1000.
