Violated by Ah Long mob
By ROYCE CHEAH
KUALA LUMPUR: A 51-year-old woman was overpowered by three men near her office, who took turns to stick their middle finger into her vagina. That was, however, only the beginning of her harrowing ordeal.
“The loan sharks took a bunch of joss sticks, lit it and started burning my arms and thighs. They wanted to burn my private part too, but only managed to burn some pubic hair as I begged them to stop. They also burnt hell money and poured kerosene over me in an attempt to burn me. I was just lucky that I was not burned to death.”
The woman who only wanted to be known as Tan was speaking at the MCA Public Services and Complaints department yesterday. Department chief Datuk Michael Chong described her run-in with loan sharks as the “worst” he'd come across.
The incident took place on March 31 at a stairwell near Tan's isolated fifth-floor office in Cheras. She said it was because the loan sharks wanted more money even after she had paid them what was owed.
Tan said her screams for help went unheard during her 30-minute ordeal and that she passed out a few times due to the pain that was inflicted.
She said the men had put on surgical gloves before sticking their finger into her vagina and that they were laughing at her while carrying out the obscene act.
“It was only two hours later when I was conscious enough that I called the police to lodge a report and to be taken to hospital.”
Chong said Tan, was a repeat “offender”, as she would constantly go to loan sharks to borrow money.
“She has sought help three times. She was here in November last year, February this year and it was only during her latest visit here on May 29 that I found out about what had happened to her in March.”
Tan said she recognised one of the loan sharks who had tortured her.
Chong said the case was now being handled by the Federal Police Sexual Abuse and Child Investigation Division (D11). He also advised women to stop borrowing money from loan sharks.
“This could happen to anyone, because loan sharks have no heart,” he said.
