On 21 Nov, the RC received a call from a resident from Block 789, informing us to help them as they do not feel secure. This resident, received a call from Loansharks, insisting that the monies owed be returned.
The resident did not borrow any monies, but the Loanshark is able to quote NRIC Number, Name and even address. They will say if do not pay up, their walls will be smeared, children kidnapped and burn properties.
Our advice is for the resident to report to the police, inform neighbours so that everyone can help lookout for one another. In unity, it is with hope that it will be a deterrent for any vandalism to the block. Usually, the Loanshark will harass till you give in, even though you did not owe any monies - they also know and prey on families with children, as the yield to their demands are higher.
If you see any persons, who is not a familiar face in the estate loitering along the corridors, do not hesitate to call the police and give a description of their attire, height, looks and even race.
This may just be a case and many more might have been affected, but not reported !!
