Hi,

Yes, you can give it away.  There are many Buddhist temples around.  One is the Poh Lum temple on Jalan Gasing, PJ.  There is also a Thai Temple on Jalan Gasing. 

Old Town also got one.  Just ask the people around there.  Further, there is Old Klang Road (Buddhist Centre (?))

Anyway, if your housemate doesn't like it, you can always put it in your own room.  Unless he/she also finds it objectionable. 

See lots of people posting stuff.  Show some reverence to other people's beliefs, ok?  Yes, it is just a statue, Buddhists shouldn't place so much emphasis on objects.  But that doesn't mean they should throw them away either.
