KLANG: "I will go crazy if the loan sharks keep harassing me and my children. I beg them to stop and leave us alone." Such were the cries of a 58-year-old single mother after she and her four children were harassed and intimidated for more than a year by loan sharks over her ex-husband's debts.

Goh, who is self-employed, said she divorced her husband of 30 years in June last year after she could no longer afford to pay his debts, which he had accumulated earlier. "I know that my ex-husband owed four different Ah Long money, and I helped him two years ago to settle three loans amounting to RM107,500. "Then, between August and November last year, I paid another Ah Long RM100 a day in interest. "Yet there are other Ah Long who keep coming to our house and harassing us," she said at a press conference organised by Klang MCA Public Complaints and Services Bureau deputy chief Datuk Tan Bok Koon here Tuesday.
