BUTTERWORTH: A money-lending company in Seberang Jaya has allegedly disconnected electricity supply to a family’s home in Lunas, Kedah, because they could not settle their loan on time.
To make matters worse, a family member — who took a loan of RM2,000 two years ago — ended up paying over RM10,000 because of the interest imposed by the money-lending firm. Unable to cope with the pressure and rough tactics employed by the firm, the father, Mohd Nasib Mohd Hashi, 52, sought the help of Seberang Jaya assemblyman Datuk Arif Shah Omar Shah yesterday.
