A household in Lorong Ikan Emas, Cheras has been subjected to harassment by loan sharks, popularly referred to as ah longs, due to a family member’s massive gambling debt.

The family member involved owes several different loan sharks a total of about RM300,000, and debt collectors have since set their house on fire, splattered paint on his gate, and made verbal threats, according to the debtor’s brother, Yee Tien Hou.
