A 63-year-old man in Johor Baru, Malaysia, returned from a 10-month hospital stay to find his family missing and a massive debt looming over his head. His 27-year-old son had borrowed over RM200,000 from loan sharks, leading to threats and relentless demands for repayment.
A 63-year-old man returned from a 10-month hospital stay, expecting to be greeted by his family, only to discover that everyone had disappeared. Khoo realized his son, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren aged 2 and 4 years old who lived with him were not there. Some of their belongings and clothes in their Taman Bukit Indah home were also gone. When loan sharks visited his home, Khoo found out that his 27-year-old son had borrowed money and had a total debt of more than RM200,000.
Other loan sharks also called Khoo up demanding to be repaid. They threatened to damage his car and house if he failed to pay up. Khoo lodged a police report on December 31. Speaking at a press conference, Khoo said his son previously worked at an eatery in Singapore and gotten into trouble with loan sharks after borrowing money. His son was fired after loan sharks harassed the workplace. Meanwhile, Khoo’s wife works as a restaurant waitress in Singapore and is afraid to go home due to threats from loan sharks. Khoo is worried the loan sharks would damage his neighbour’s property. When he was hospitalised, he had been surviving on the kindness of his wife, neighbours, and friends who provided food and money. Since Khoo is no longer working and is unwell, Johor DAP assistant secretary Ng Siam Luang urged Khoo’s son to return home to settle his debts
