Kota Sentosa Family Terrorised by Loan Sharks — Arson, Threats Over RM7,000 Debt
-
Kota Sentosa family terrorised by loan sharks after son's RM7,000 debt balloons to RM30,000 — arson, threats, and a family living in fear.
A Kota Sentosa family has filed five police reports after illegal moneylenders allegedly threatened them and set fire to their house and vehicle over a RM7,000 loan taken out by their son.
The son has gone into hiding, leaving his elderly parents to face the consequences alone.
Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap accompanied the couple to meet Kuching District Police Chief ACP Alexson Naga Chabu today after the family began receiving threats and experienced arson attacks.
According to Yap, the lenders are now demanding around RM30,000 in settlement — nearly four times the original amount.
