Mechanic buys dream home that turns into a nightmare


KUALA LUMPUR: Buying his first house in Kepong was a milestone for 28-year-old mechanic Chia Wee Beng but it has put him in a predicament.

The nightmare began on May 1 when Chia came home to red paint splattered on his new house and a handwritten message in Chinese stating “borrow money, must pay” on a paper in the house compound with the name Ah Phang and a contact number.
