LOANSHARK UPDATE

In previous post, I stated that I was curious as to why the police aren't
tackling the Ah long menace, and coincidentally a reply came in today from
the Malay Mail that in actual fact, the money lending and Ah long business
come under the Housing and Local Government Ministry!
Oops, I didn't know that.

So now we know that the Ah long activities aren't PDRM 's baby it's the
responsibility of the Housing and Local Government Ministry and according
to its minister Datuk Wira Chor Chee Heung, the ministry is more than
capable of handling Ah longs.

Is more than capable of handling Ah longs?? Huh!! Sure, ah? Why don't
the minister ask Michael Chong for an opinion?
If capable, then why we still read about Ah Long harassing borrowers or
family members?

In fact, Chor later admitted that “Loan sharks are the only serious
issue relating to moneylending that we have to tackle.

If it's a serious issue, how do the ministry officials handle those Ah longs aka.
gangsters who threaten innocent family members? Do these government
servants carry firearms during the crack down on Ah longs? Or do they
ever carry any clamp down operations, at all?
Honestly, I've yet to read about any crackdown operations on Ah long in
my entire life !!

The minister added there will be amendments to the Moneylenders Act
that would enhance their abilities.

DAMMIT! It's not only the stiffer penalties that solve the Ah long
problems it's the ENFORCEMENT!!
