Ah-Long (Loan-shark) Harassment

just 2 days ago, there's this weird brown letter that showed up in my unit's letter box.. there's only an address but it does not indicate who does it adressed to.. so when i opened it, my first reaction was: "ah-long's letter with 2 pieces of ghim-zhua (dead people's money)"

ppl reading this not to worry because none of my family members including myself borrwed from the ah-long.. it's actually some1 from the sixth-floor that borrowed from them and in order to "efficiently" have the debtor pay back his/her debts they decided to put pressure on the debtor thru harassing the his/her neighbours...

well of coz their main purpose was to instilled fear to the neighbours by threatening to lock their gates or do a little bit of graffiti on their main doors so that the neighbours could pressurize the debtor repay the debts owed.. and of coz there are uncles and aunties that got frightened by such stuff.. to me it's just a joke for 5 minutes.. the first reason that it became a joke is because the ah-long is so free that they actually take the time to print out soo many copies of the letter.. they also made an effort to write out the address one by one on the envelopes and pasted stamps onto it.. also nt forgetting the 2-piece ghim-zhua where every household receive the same thing... we are not talking abt preparing all this for one block of ppl, just refer to ytd's chinese newspapers and u'll realise that there's this block in hougang that also received the same letter from the same ah-long.. the next reason would be the letter is a joke itself.. with english and chinese sentences that are literally in pieces.. if any of the parents feel that their kid performs very badly for their composition maybe they should seek comfort from that letter..

anywayz.. i think everyone hopes that debtor will do something abt the ah-long issue coz it's rather peaceful in this area b4 his/her debt came into the whole picture..
