KUALA LUMPUR: Lorry driver Choy Khoo Yee, 64, was so fed up of the agony brought upon the family by his debt-laden daughter that he decided to disown her.

Sharing his ordeal at a press conference with MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Seri Michael Chong at Wisma MCA yesterday, Choy said he had been paying for his daughter’s RM48,000 debt to loan sharks since 2006.
