“The loan sharks are vile. They threatened to sever the private parts of my daughter and her husband,” said the 60-year-old housewife who only wanted to be known as Heng.
“A loan shark also sent me gory photos of people with severed genitals, claiming he had carried out the acts himself. It was so upsetting that I told them to go ahead and do as they wished as I have disowned my daughter,” she said.
Heng’s peace of mind was shattered when she was bombarded with a barrage of phone calls from illegal moneylenders over loans taken by her 36-year-old daughter and her husband, who had gone into hiding last month.
Heng said she learnt that the couple had borrowed about 20,000 ringgit (US$4,928) from 20 loan sharks since 2024.
Angered by her daughter’s actions that had caused distress to her family, Heng said she no longer cares what becomes of her as she has disowned her.
