can apply to the court for the removal of the goods. Secondly in the section 7(2), the
goods under the hire purcahse agreement must be merchantable quality to the hirrer.
It means the good is benefit to baba as the as a student. Take a look in the case Lau
Hee Tiah vs Hargill Engineering Sdn Bhd(1980), which court decided to prove the
goo it is not merchantable quality, the hirrer must show that the goods is no use for
him in any purpose during that situation. In the terms of the owner when the hirrer
had breached the Hire Purchase agreement, the owner of the goods has right to
recover or get back their goods. Section 16(1) stated as the Form Fourth Schedule,
if the hirrer had not paid 2 installemnt in the time and after the 21 days notice been
given for the hirrer to paid the installemnt, the owner can right to recover back the
goods. In case between Phang Brothers Motor Sdn Bhd vs Lee Aik Seng(1978),
state 2 days before 21 days is considered as the possesison was not valid and under
the section17(1) the owner that had already recover the possesion the good cannot
sell th goods to other people without the written consent from the hirrer until
