A 30-year-old woman working as a beauty therapist in Kuala Lumpur has appealed for assistance after being targeted by loan sharks. She originally borrowed RM6,000, but is now being threatened and pressured to repay RM16,000. The woman contacted MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head, Datuk Seri Michael Chong, for help with the escalating debt. This case highlights the dangers of borrowing from unlicensed moneylenders. Authorities advise against using loan sharks due to their predatory practices and illegal interest rates. Chong’s department is investigating the matter, and assisting the woman in navigating the situation. The incident serves as a warning about the risks associated with unregulated loans.
