Guys, the purpose of me opening this topic is to remind all of you and please inform your friends and family as well, to avoid borrow money from Ah Long. For those who wonder how these Ah Long squeeze people, here's the story, quite long and I'll try to make it short.

Yesterday 8/8/2023, a friend of mine call me asking if I can meet him, urgent he said. So we meet up at a place, then he ask me to borrow him RM3000. I ask him why? He told me the whole story about he borrow RM3000 from Ah Long via online, no paper work no signature no black and white. I ask again how can he be so careless, agreeing to this kind of crazy deals. Now my friend here aren't an alcoholic, a gambler, or addicted to any negative stuffs. He know it's a stupid idea but he needs money that time, found out about this loan online and go ahead with it. Within 30 days, he must pay off the RM3000 in lum sum, simple to said borrow RM3000 but must pay back RM3000 within 30 days. So yesterday at 8/8/2023, is the due date. I helped him sold his computers, ipad and some other gadgets. We collected about RM2000+ because we sell these items dirt cheap, instantly got call and PM from various buyers. He manage to borrow few hundreds from his friends to make it RM3000.

Now here's the most fucked up part, by logic before 12am, the date will still remains 8/8. So he still have couple of hours to pay up the RM3000 right? Nope, the Ah Long literally said this "If follow market, other people charge interest RM1000 per hour.". I don't want to share the chat between him and the Ah Long here because he's already in miserable state, but that's the message he showed me. That text is before 12am, the date still 8/8 but to the Ah Long it's times up. They ask him to pay another RM4000 even after he paid the RM3000 before 12am 8/8 because of his "late payment", so it's RM3000 + RM4000 = RM7000 to them. You see, to this Ah Long, after 12am or no, they still charge you late interest because they feel you late to pay them back. All this in whatsapp and I ask him to screenshot all the chat as the Ah Long later might delete it, and if that happened he might get into trouble as he got no evidence against the Ah Long. Yes I know, our law aren't so good against Ah Long but I still ask him to do so just in case. After that I told him don't pay the RM4000, go to PPIM and tell them what happened. He paid on the last day of the 30 days, yet because the Ah Long feels like he's late to pay and they simply ask him to pay another RM4000. I think now he already in PPIM office, hope they can figure something out.

You guys might have question,
- What he did with the RM3000? He don't want to tell me but he assure me that the RM3000 aren't for those bad things, I know him for so long, so I believe him.
- Why he never ask his family, friends or company for help? He said he did, but non of them able to help that day before he go to Ah Long.
- Did I borrow money to him yesterday? No I didn't because I also needed money as I will be buying another car soon. But I did help him get around RM2000+ by helping him selling off his computer and gadgets.

This thread is to raise awareness, if you guys have any Ah Long stories, feel free to share it here so that others know how fucked up these Ah Long are in reality.

UPDATE 9/8
He went to PPIM, they help him checked with the company they claim they're from and surprise, the company said they do not have any record from my friend at all. PPIM said 2 possibility, 1 is this person are playing ah long, meaning they just some scammers pretending ah long plus all these usual threats. 2 this person could be the old school type of ah long, yes they do have the man power and they will causing trouble like throwing red paint etc. PPIM advise him to file a police report which he did afterwards, in the mean time PPIM try to contact the ah long but they never answer the phone call. In the police station, an inspector was assigned to assist him. Inspector advise him to change his phone number and deactivate his social media for a time being, until everything as cool down. Yes the inspector also try to contact the ah long and same, not answering the phone while he still receiving threats via whatsapp. Worse parts is that the ah long get to his mom, I don't know what his parents will do to him but I do know his parents won't go easy on him. He even told me he's ready if the family disown him over this, man this sure is fucked up. For now the inspector inform him to stay alert for any suspicious individual in his place, call the police if someone ever came to harass him. The inspector also said they're now tracking down the caller and found the caller aren't in KL/Selangor, also tracking down the bank account owner. I sure hope the police will get to them so that my friend and some other poor victim no longer have to worry about these bastards harassing them, imagine sleeping with one open and looking over your shoulder every time you going out.

UPDATE
To those who thought borrow RM3000 get RM3000, here's the text my friend get,

Name: My friend's
Loan amount: RM3000
Get on hand: RM2400
Loan date: 9/8/2023
Due date: 8/8/2023
Agent: ah long name, pretty sure it's a made up name

If he went to PPIM, I believe should be able to settle.

I don't know how efficient they are, but PPIM should have the influence & "muscle" to negotiate with the along.

Not going into why borrow from ah long, its beyond that.
Borrow 3k pay back 3k too good to be true. even friend also charge interest.
Ah long needs to make money,.
You are dealing with lawless people, no documentation, they would surely open high (+4k interest), maybe should try to negotiate. 2k down.
And why count down the clock till last minute to repay, you are dealing with ah long and should have bufferred.
End of day, your friend has opened a door way, Ah long see this as opportunity, and will come up with whatever stories to make him keep paying. The more you pay Ah long will see him capable of getting more . Good luck to him.

That is scary.. I hope those Ah Long are captured and prisoned.

Gomen is so busy about Telegram, why are not they after those online Ah Longs also. I know there are probably too many, but at least do something? Start hunting one by one? For Sajat also they busy..

Anyway TS, I understand he needed the money urgently. But then he had 30 days to pay off right and it's RM3k. After getting the money, why not just apply TnG GoPinjam for RM3k.. get installment payment, although with interest, but legit and registered. Then use that money to pay Ah Long?

We don’t know the full circumstances of TS’ fried - whether he would qualify for a legal personal loan or not. Maybe that’s why he felt he needed to look for loan sharks…. But that’s really a big no no whatever the reason or circumstance may be.

Even the cash withdrawal from the credit card will not be charged that bad. Why the friend not even considered the cash withdrawal from CC?

Of course if possible, not to withdraw from CC because the interest is at 18% p.a.

If you really believe Ah Long provide interest-free loan, you are in for a surprise. You pay them in 20 days, they will still charge you interest lo.

Thing the biggest problem is Ah Long has no rules and make their own rules as they see fit.

Like this, a gaming laptop market selling at RM2500 - RM3000, I put RM1900. iPad gen 8 now selling around RM800 - RM1000, I put RM600. Gopro hero 4 now selling RM400+-, I put RM250. You do the math then.

Why not give him RM3000 instead? He cannot guaranteed me that he will pay back before I get my car, you still think it's a good idea?

Damn. I really wan a gopro

BTW. Its impossible no interest. If they can simply charge 4k means even when pay back early they will say something else. All they need is ur account no. Once they bank in all story can b made up.

Give TS friend the benefit of doubt that whatever reason was important enough to justify the risk lorr. Maybe need to pay for loan that defaulted long enough for bank to initiate reclamation procedures leh? Kinda sucks if you had been paying off a car or home for many years but defaulted few months because of tough times and it gets towed/repossessed.

EDIT: That being said, hope TS friend learns from this mistake.

3K also need to borrow along. Sucks to be him.

If he got abit brain, he would have sold his stuffs before he borrow along.
Atleast then he only need to borrow few hundred.

Ohh waiiiii

I don't know what he did with the RM3000, pretty sure he's not using it to buy fancy stuff. That gaming laptop he bought on 2021 during pandemic, iPad also, Gopro hero 4 like many years ago. He might've need that RM3000 for something important.

Calm down and think, to you RM3000 might be nothing. To others, RM3000 is a lot of money. Before you "Sucks to be him/her", at least use your little brain to think, if a small amount also need to borrow, then that person might've been desperate or could be an emergency.

Oh wait, this is LYN, since when users here are civilize. My bad...

even if your friend pay off the 3k before 6pm on the 30th day, the Along will still find ways to collect extra. coz they need to profit also.

3k return 3k, basically like doing charity business.

He tried, but didn't work because he follow the market price. It was my idea who lower down the price so he can sell his stuff faster, I can't give him RM3000 but I at least helped him sell off some of his stuff. So yea he did tried other way to get money before the online loan AKA online ah long, if he didn't call me yesterday night he probably selling off his car now. Based on that suka2 naik bunga attitude, I figure the debt now goes up to 5 figures.

Again, it won't cost you a cent to be tolerance and put yourself on someone's else shoes instead insulting or making fun of others. You need to change your attitude.

I won't doubt if they do, based on the text these ah long simply increased RM1000 of interest for late payment. Won't be surprise if they debt get into 5 figures.

He tried, but didn't work because he follow the market price. It was my idea who lower down the price so he can sell his stuff faster, I can't give him RM3000 but I at least helped him sell off some of his stuff. So yea he did tried other way to get money before the online loan AKA online ah long, if he didn't call me yesterday night he probably selling off his car now. Based on that suka2 naik bunga attitude, I figure the debt now goes up to 5 figures.

Again, it won't cost you a cent to be tolerance and put yourself on someone's else shoes instead insulting or making fun of others. You need to change your attitude.

I have dealt with ah long cases like you, but relative one.

Did you see the T&C or your fren hiding the T&C from you? Nowadays ah long got give out detail T&C one, not simply naik harga like you see in TV one.

Your fren got sign a document somewhere that got the fine print, probaby have to pay before 8/8/2023, like date due by 8/8/2023. Usually they get Rm2700 and have to pay RM3k before the month is up, else the interest will add 10% or something like that.

Ask them how to settle, you can help your fren to pay out, but of course have to be reasonable amount or will involve PPIM or Micheal Chong Dept, etc because you are also not rich to bail him out.

Moral of the story

Happy times, save. You never know when you need 3k.


Not enough money to save? Work harder. Living in Malaysia you cannot be poor, everywhere is opportunity. Even Bangla buys land house shop in their home country doing 3R work. As a Malaysian, surely there's a way to make money legally.

This is really an avoidable case.

As per what he said, no documents of black and white. I did ask him why he agreed on this, he told he was desperately need the money. How much he got I don't know, but I know he only borrow RM3000. Start at 8/7 and 8/8 is the last day, but at 8/8 night the ah long suka2 say market now charge RM1000 per hour for late payment, I don't know what "market" they're talking about, now he's in police station as per his update just now around 12pm.

Rule of thumb, the interest rates of ahlong often start from 100%, and that’s presume you able to really get it settled early.

Trouble is, those who don't need a loan, banks keep offering them one. Those who resort to Ah Long can't qualify for bank loans.

If course I am not ruling out cases of borrowers who do that because they're sure they can make some fast cash using that borrowed money.

I would say they're financially stable from what I've seen, go to their house for CNY and they always got lost foods and drinks. For me angpow RM50, that's still a lot even until today. But the parent really strict, you literally can see what type of parents they by the way they spoke with their kid.

Why not give him RM3000 instead? He cannot guaranteed me that he will pay back before I get my car, you still think it's a good idea?

I understand he sell them off cheap, im just surprised u guys managed to find buyers in such short notice. (Coming from someone who put items in shopping cart/wish list for days, sometimes weeks before deciding to buy them)

Oh I'm sorry I tot you are close enough to lend him the money since u r already kind enough to help him getting enough money for his debt. I understand yo, my friend took half a year to pay me back 10k by instalment.

You are dealing with lawless people, no documentation, they would surely open high (+4k interest), maybe should try to negotiate. 2k down.
And why count down the clock till last minute to repay, you are dealing with ah long and should have bufferred.
End of day, your friend has opened a door way, Ah long see this as opportunity, and will come up with whatever stories to make him keep paying. The more you pay Ah long will see him capable of getting more . Good luck to him.

No matter how desperate you are dont go borrow from ah long

Even if really no choice you need to borrow from ah long go find those money lender aka ah long that have shop advertising as money lender

Lets say you cannot pay them back you still can go find them at their shop to discuss how to settle the amount, If you take loan online then u dont know who they are and they can find u easily

Before they borrow money to you they will mostly do a "background check" on you 1st because they need to know if you or your family member can payback

Ahlong business has been around for decades. Newspapers and socmed been sharing other ppl's story when they(or their family member) borrow money from Ahlong. I don't get why ppl still fell for it thinking ahlong is some kind of charity that give out interest free loan (even u pay back, say, next day).

Guys, the purpose of me opening this topic is to remind all of you and please inform your friends and family as well, to avoid borrow money from Ah Long. For those who wonder how these Ah Long squeeze people, here's the story, quite long and I'll try to make it short.

Yesterday 8/8/2023, a friend of mine call me asking if I can meet him, urgent he said. So we meet up at a place, then he ask me to borrow him RM3000. I ask him why? He told me the whole story about he borrow RM3000 from Ah Long via online, no paper work no signature no black and white. I ask again how can he be so careless, agreeing to this kind of crazy deals. Now my friend here aren't an alcoholic, a gambler, or addicted to any negative stuffs. He know it's a stupid idea but he needs money that time, found out about this loan online and go ahead with it. Within 30 days, he must pay off the RM3000 in lum sum, simple to said borrow RM3000 but must pay back RM3000 within 30 days. So yesterday at 8/8/2023, is the due date. I helped him sold his computers, ipad and some other gadgets. We collected about RM2000+ because we sell these items dirt cheap, instantly got call and PM from various buyers. He manage to borrow few hundreds from his friends to make it RM3000.

Now here's the most fucked up part, by logic before 12am, the date will still remains 8/8. So he still have couple of hours to pay up the RM3000 right? Nope, the Ah Long literally said this "If follow market, other people charge interest RM1000 per hour.". I don't want to share the chat between him and the Ah Long here because he's already in miserable state, but that's the message he showed me. That text is before 12am, the date still 8/8 but to the Ah Long it's times up. They ask him to pay another RM4000 even after he paid the RM3000 before 12am 8/8 because of his "late payment", so it's RM3000 + RM4000 = RM7000 to them. You see, to this Ah Long, after 12am or no, they still charge you late interest because they feel you late to pay them back. All this in whatsapp and I ask him to screenshot all the chat as the Ah Long later might delete it, and if that happened he might get into trouble as he got no evidence against the Ah Long. Yes I know, our law aren't so good against Ah Long but I still ask him to do so just in case. After that I told him don't pay the RM4000, go to PPIM and tell them what happened. He paid on the last day of the 30 days, yet because the Ah Long feels like he's late to pay and they simply ask him to pay another RM4000. I think now he already in PPIM office, hope they can figure something out.

You guys might have question,
- What he did with the RM3000? He don't want to tell me but he assure me that the RM3000 aren't for those bad things, I know him for so long, so I believe him.
- Why he never ask his family, friends or company for help? He said he did, but non of them able to help that day before he go to Ah Long.
- Did I borrow money to him yesterday? No I didn't because I also needed money as I will be buying another car soon. But I did help him get around RM2000+ by helping him selling off his computer and gadgets.

This thread is to raise awareness, if you guys have any Ah Long stories, feel free to share it here so that others know how fucked up these Ah Long are in reality.

Why not pay 7/8 ? Why find problem 8/8. If you know it's free with no interest by 8/8, why wait till the date?

Should have paid on 7/8 so they don't have the reason?

By the way, loan without interest? You gotta be kidding me.

He told me the whole story about he borrow RM3000 from Ah Long via online, no paper work no signature no black and white. I ask again how can he be so careless, agreeing to this kind of crazy deals. Now my friend here aren't an alcoholic, a gambler, or addicted to any negative stuffs. He know it's a stupid idea but he needs money that time, found out about this loan online and go ahead with it. Within 30 days, he must pay off the RM3000 in lum sum, simple to said borrow RM3000 but must pay back RM3000 within 30 days. So yesterday at 8/8/2023, is the due date. I helped him sold his computers, ipad and some other gadgets. We collected about RM2000+ because we sell these items dirt cheap, instantly got call and PM from various buyers. He manage to borrow few hundreds from his friends to make it RM3000.

Now here's the most fucked up part, by logic before 12am, the date will still remains 8/8. So he still have couple of hours to pay up the RM3000 right? Nope, the Ah Long literally said this "If follow market, other people charge interest RM1000 per hour.". I don't want to share the chat between him and the Ah Long here because he's already in miserable state, but that's the message he showed me. That text is before 12am, the date still 8/8 but to the Ah Long it's times up. They ask him to pay another RM4000 even after he paid the RM3000 before 12am 8/8 because of his "late payment", so it's RM3000 + RM4000 = RM7000 to them. You see, to this Ah Long, after 12am or no, they still charge you late interest because they feel you late to pay them back. All this in whatsapp and I ask him to screenshot all the chat as the Ah Long later might delete it, and if that happened he might get into trouble as he got no evidence against the Ah Long. Yes I know, our law aren't so good against Ah Long but I still ask him to do so just in case. After that I told him don't pay the RM4000, go to PPIM and tell them what happened. He paid on the last day of the 30 days, yet because the Ah Long feels like he's late to pay and they simply ask him to pay another RM4000. I think now he already in PPIM office, hope they can figure something out.

You guys might have question,
- What he did with the RM3000? He don't want to tell me but he assure me that the RM3000 aren't for those bad things, I know him for so long, so I believe him.
- Why he never ask his family, friends or company for help? He said he did, but non of them able to help that day before he go to Ah Long.
- Did I borrow money to him yesterday? No I didn't because I also needed money as I will be buying another car soon. But I did help him get around RM2000+ by helping him selling off his computer and gadgets.

This thread is to raise awareness, if you guys have any Ah Long stories, feel free to share it here so that others know how fucked up these Ah Long are in reality.

bruh, that's why you guys should watch semboyan jewtube.

there are 2 types of along

1 is along along

another 1 is along scammer

along along is the normal ah long while along scammer is the one happy to give you money but will scam you on payday.

according to semboyan, along along they can kawtim/help but along scammer he can't help much. the along scammer only use phone and in borneo so hard to track them.

He tried, but didn't work because he follow the market price. It was my idea who lower down the price so he can sell his stuff faster, I can't give him RM3000 but I at least helped him sell off some of his stuff. So yea he did tried other way to get money before the online loan AKA online ah long, if he didn't call me yesterday night he probably selling off his car now. Based on that suka2 naik bunga attitude, I figure the debt now goes up to 5 figures.

Again, it won't cost you a cent to be tolerance and put yourself on someone's else shoes instead insulting or making fun of others. You need to change your attitude.

Sounds like your friend doesn't know how to handle his life. His initial method (sell belongings) didn't work because he didn't know how to work it and didn't seek advice. It worked when you got roped in.
Better to educate people on this rather than avoid ah long as extremely desperate people will still go to ah long.

Ever wonder how you see stories of gamblers owe up to 50 ah longs? They borrow from 1 to cover debt from other, and the deadly cycle doesn't stop.

Also lots of ah longs don't stick to their word. That's how they earn, making it a very profitable venture and why it is still around.

Even if he got money to pay back before 30 days he cannot find the ahlong. 31st day he will magically appear. This scam reported before.

There is no free lunch in this world.
If I were your friend, I would probably have confirmed with the ah long on which date need to settle. At least to the very minute.

Then get him to WhatsApp or write in contract exactly the time and date needs to settle. In fact better do audio recording at that time. Also bank account to pay to. Then just show him the day, make the bank transaction. Send him WhatsApp receipt then just block him. If still make trouble go and complain to whatever authority with the evidence. if any tricks also complain to authority. I am sure authority see this type of unreasonable ah long also will take action.

But if do this, guarantee Ah Long will not agree one.

Even one time, I took bonus from online gambling site. Told cs clearly that I need 2 weeks to finish that bonus, and write on WhatsApp that will take 2 week. She "refused" . So later when she suddenly said 1 week.after giving me bonus i screwed her big time. But I already have evidence that she "promised" me 2, weeks. Would never have took the bonus if no clear evidence.

You see, if got actual black and white cannot do anything. You see, like ppl say no free lunch in this world but if there is make sure you have black and white and protect yourself. Your friend obviously not so smart.

Hi TS, when you reach to ah long, it's impossible to borrow RM3000 and pay back RM3000. Atleast RM3300 (10%) and above for the interest only, not including late payment FYI

Beneficial thread. Thank you ts for taking time to type it out. I think the offer was legit. You borrow 3k, you pay 3k before time is up. I think they think, out of 10, 9 would fail.

Maybe it was a bad month for the loan sharks where a lot of people could pay on time, so they bend the rules. But for first month, isn't it minus 1 for 30 days? You start on 8th, a month would be on 7th the following month, right?

Lesson for me is, you always need something written down and always exhaust all your options before going for loan sharks. You never know what kind of sharks you're going to get.

I was a secondary victim to ah long / loan shark a few years ago - I'm pretty sure I told this story a few times so yeah I'll spare the details on who/why... Just gonna disclose the amounts and their operations.

The loan sharks we dealt with? They do things legally, I kid you not. The lawyers representing them has an office in Subang and we've been up there with our own lawyer to protect ourselves.

The transaction was RM 320k.
The collateral was a house with about double that amount. SPA was signed between the borrower and the loan shark, basically the borrower "sold" the house for 320k, but in reality, I've never seen the money and based on the borrower's own words, only about 200k reached the borrower; the rest was processing fee and interest. Basically to get out of this mess, we had to formulate an undertaking letter to cancel the existing SPA, "buy" the house from the borrower so that amount disbursed by bank to the borrower can then be used to repay the loan sharks.

Initially, I helped to pay the interest. Here the interesting part, no pun intended tongue.gif the interest was 8%... PER MONTH. I remember the painful moments I tearfully clicked the buttons to approve the bank transactions to their shell company accounts (I don't remember the names but they were nothing like "LOAN SHARK SDN BHD"). At that time, I believed that if I just live frugally, keep saving up for rainy days, then I would be fine. My 2 years of savings since starting out in the workforce instantly dried up to pay 2 rounds of RM 25,600. By the 3rd month, we negotiated to lower the interest to 6%... Per month. I paid 19,200 once and from there on, I pushed back on paying further interest because I completely went dry in my accounts. I remember telling the borrower to figure shit out on their own and funny how the borrower was still high on their fucking ego, saying "yeah I can deal with my own shit," yeah right, why else I can tell this story smile.gif . Eventually, we negotiated to pause the payment without compounding to principal, in return we promise we wouldn't run (after all, we wanted to save the collateral).

The legal documentation had a lot of ping pong/rounds of reviews, added with time taken to find a bank and eventually get loan approval, the whole ordeal took almost 2 years. In the end, the amount disbursed by bank to borrower clear the debt to loan shark + interests accumulated, I remember the amount was so much, we asked to negotiate to waive interest on good faith... At that time, I was so angry inside because this is so unfair, but I kept my mouth shut because I know anger has no place to someone who's at the mercy of loan sharks. I let the others do the talking... We settled with half the amount, like 100k++.

Everything has black and white legal documents signed by both parties. This "interest payment" is worded something like... "payment to Mr X out of goodwill or compensation for cancelling the SPA..." There is absolutely nothing remotely close to "loan shark" on paper. I still remember that day, the taikor came to sign lol. He's exactly that stereotype in your mind: bald Chinese uncle wearing white singlet, big build, visible intimidating tattoos befitting a typical TVB/HK triad. Before this, we only dealt with the asshole lawyer who was always condescending and ruthless, and the loan shark representative/mule was a friendly, normal looking uncle - I remember him saying, "I'm just making a living here..." (唔打工啫...) ...when we asked for negotiations. Everyone there in the law firm is gloomy. Clerks were unfriendly and doesn't show any courtesy at all. I remember seeing families with young children sitting on the side just waiting, looking around... At that time I thought, yeah all of these people fucked up just like this borrower I know.. but now, I think it's normal to not be happy in a law firm in general, because you almost never look for a lawyer for something happy lol.

My take?
1. Same as TS.
2. Educate yourself financially not to become one who blindly chases money, but become one who has the freedom to be generous to self and people around them.
3. Golden rule about money: if something is too good to be true, it's always untrue.

I'm sure ts doesn't know the full story. Friend hush hush but wants help.

Very rare for even fam members or relatives not to help, he surely has messed up a lot even before this happened.

Also to the rest who is financially ok. Never be a white knight. People will beg you as if you're their only hope. Truth is. Once money reaches their hand. They'll forget about your kindness and good deeds. You end up having to beg them.


Aka don't fight other people's battle, kindness doesn't work that way

Guard your money well. In general it also means be wise in your spending so you don't need to deal with ah long one day.

as someone whose family member borrow ah long before, i agree with TS message.

but i confirm TS friend also not telling the whole truth.

Only thing to take note: in the history of ah long, ah long never ever gave interest free borrowing before. Not even to "entice" or "trap" people.

Hell, ah long dont even offer interest free to their LOYAL/RETURN customers (who borrow and pay back on time multiple times in the past)

Their "kindest" or most "merciful" act they can do is like maybe cut down the interest rate or months. e.g you late 3 months payment so got 3 months interest, but they allow to cut 1 month interest...

Why not give him RM3000 instead? He cannot guaranteed me that he will pay back before I get my car, you still think it's a good idea?

You can sell those item yourself, probably profit +10% - 20% after you give him rm3k

Not sure why you are not willing to do so, since you can have his stuff as collateral anyway (or just sell it and tell him anything more than 3k it’s yours)

Still, you’re a good friend to help him sell all his item …

(唔打工啫...) ...when we asked for negotiations. Everyone there in the law firm is gloomy. Clerks were unfriendly and doesn't show any courtesy at all. I remember seeing families with young children sitting on the side just waiting, looking around... At that time I thought, yeah all of these people fucked up just like this borrower I know.. but now, I think it's normal to not be happy in a law firm in general, because you almost never look for a lawyer for something happy lol.

My take?
1. Same as TS.
2. Educate yourself financially not to become one who blindly chases money, but become one who has the freedom to be generous to self and people around them.
3. Golden rule about money: if something is too good to be true, it's always untrue.

You can sell those item yourself, probably profit +10% - 20% after you give him rm3k

Not sure why you are not willing to do so, since you can have his stuff as collateral anyway (or just sell it and tell him anything more than 3k it’s yours)

Still, you’re a good friend to help him sell all his item …

Also to the rest who is financially ok. Never be a white knight. People will beg you as if you're their only hope. Truth is. Once money reaches their hand. They'll forget about your kindness and good deeds. You end up having to beg them.

That's why I help him selling off his computer and gadget, I can give him the RM3000 but since he cannot guarantee me to pay it by this month, so I won't risk it because I need that money to buy car.

Beneficial thread. Thank you ts for taking time to type it out. I think the offer was legit. You borrow 3k, you pay 3k before time is up. I think they think, out of 10, 9 would fail.

Maybe it was a bad month for the loan sharks where a lot of people could pay on time, so they bend the rules. But for first month, isn't it minus 1 for 30 days? You start on 8th, a month would be on 7th the following month, right?

Lesson for me is, you always need something written down and always exhaust all your options before going for loan sharks. You never know what kind of sharks you're going to get.
*
Nope.
Nothing comes for free.
That's why I suggested write everything down. Then WhatsApp the receipt to the ah long then block the ah long

But like I said. Ah long will never agree with this as their intention is to whack as much as possible. Everything black and white they cannot do it anymore.

No biz do things for free especially Chinese ones.

Living far below your means is a good thing only if you're happily doing it...

I was driving a Kancil that was older than my youngest colleagues in the office and I occasionally held back on eating good stuff even though I wanted to, just so I could save more.

All that for what? It's been years since then, but I don't think they ever understood how I felt when I clicked my hard earned money away for their mistakes... Why make myself so miserable just to be even more miserable right?

At least now happier la I spend whenever I can and I want. I got a new local car after I rebuilt my finance, ok la everything is a huge upgrade from the old tin can, cukurrrr.

It's good to be thrifty, but when you feel miserable saving money, the worrying part is you suddenly "explode" and go yolo.
On the other hand, there's a slippery slope when it comes to spending to reward ourselves, and we need to be able to identify when it's considered excessive spending (yeah, easier said than done).

there's no way you could get 3k in full if 3k is the loan sum you borrowed from the moneylender; if he gets 3k on hand then chances are he borrows 4k in the first place, and just so you know, a month from 8/7 is not 8/8, it should be 7/8, an one month billing cycle, that's really prevailing market practice on how days in one month is being calculated.

The way I see it, he doesn't manage to repay within the first cycle, and now interest has doubled up entering the second cycle. Since there's no collateral involved, there is really nothing much to lose.

True, and it's not like I regret for being thrifty then - that amount I saved bought us enough time to think more rationally I guess, because fleeing and/or cutting ties were on the table. I was just angry and confused about life back then, until I learned that it's just like everything else: it's important to have a balance. <-- Took me a few years btw!

Everyone has different threshold and perspective. How much you earn, who are your dependent(s), what are your life values, what would you throw your money at... E.g. you may be a car enthusiast and you would happily buy yourself that sports car you always dreamed of, but I'm a car potato so I'm happy with a P1. What worked for me so far: don't worry about the idea of spending, but think more towards why you want to spend that amount. We all know the more expensive the product, the better it is, but somewhere up the graph, you'll find your line -- "this is good enough, I don't need to spend anymore than this". The graph of value-to-money usually plateaus towards the high side of money. For example, I think a RM3-5k budget gets you a decent mid-range PC for smooth 1080p gaming, which is leaps above a <RM2k wooden PC, however if you wanna go beyond, the price goes way above to 10-20k range. As with the law of diminishing return, beyond the plateau of the graph is where you throw your money at luxury brands may be worse in a way (less durable/practical etc.)

Lemme try and explain the loan shark's logic here (based on my conjecture).

I think maybe TS's friend borrowed money at say 7 pm on the first day. Then, 30 days later, 7 pm is the cutoff time. Since TS's friend only paid back at 10 pm (again, all times are examples only), the ah long counts it as 3 hours late, hence the 1-hour x RM 1000 penalty.

So even though date-wise, it is the same day, the ah long counts it as have surpassed 30 days.

That's a good explanation, the problem is from the text he showed me, some thing like this,

Name: My friend's
Loan amount: RM3000
Get on hand: RM2400
Loan date: 9/8/2023
Due date: 8/8/2023
Agent: ah long name, pretty sure it's a made up name

You see they didn't mention the time, as my post written also no paper no sign no black and white. Logically, after 12am is tomorrow already and since this ah long didn't write down the time, he still managed to pay his debt within 30 days. But these fuckers ah long, twist here twist there all they see fit, demanding another RM4000 because of late payment even though haven't cross 12am. I really want to show the ah long text here but again my friends now in miserable state, it's best not to as I already shared a lot about what happened to him.

I really hope people will stay away from ah long no matter what, these fuckers charge interest rate all they want, no law no limit. Exactly like we all heard, borrow RM1000 pay RM15000.

Oh so your friend received 2400 and had to pay back 3000 within a month is it?

In that case the ah long already got a interest amount of 600 - pretty solid already.

Michael Chong helped settle the issue by calling a press conference with the family announcing they are "disowning" the borrower there. I don't know how much they have repaid since it's kind of a taboo to ask, but yeah, don't do it.

Are you serious? Dude already in deep shit, yet you sees this as an opportunity to earn some cash for yourself?

Why I'm willing to do so? Because I'm his friend, and friend should try help each other, not betraying or took advantage on them.
Your point?

You are good friend to help him sell at below market price rather than take his item and pay him rm3k , in the end he still has to borrow from other when you could help right away

You are indeed good friend 👍

Maybe I'm not telling the full story about how we get the RM3000, here it is.

When I propose we sell off his gadget below market price, at that same time he already start making some call to borrow a small amount of money from others. While me selling his gadget, he already get the other few hundreds and there we get RM3000 to pay off the debt.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or just me being paranoia or over thinking, but I do hope the above short story make a clearer scene.

Oh so your friend received 2400 and had to pay back 3000 within a month is it?

In that case the ah long already got a interest amount of 600 - pretty solid already.

These "late charges" nonsense are just screwed up...

That's why never tell full story in the first place.
25% interest in 1 month. And your friend so stupid go take this type of deal instead of asking his family for help.

I hear already I definitely will not help. This kind of stupidity cannot cure one.

Even my internet online betting bonus, I definitely try nego 15% one. But your friend is opposite

Yea I was thinking it makes 0 sense if the ah long earned 0% interest - lend 3k return 3k. Even a regular payday loan place would charge solid interest...

Yeah. But seriously, ask from family, get scolded a bit sure can get that 2400. But so scared go ask. Want to go pay 600 more.

This type of stupidity really cannot cure.

Go say lend 3k return 3k. There is a huge difference.

Guys, the purpose of me opening this topic is to remind all of you and please inform your friends and family as well, to avoid borrow money from Ah Long. For those who wonder how these Ah Long squeeze people, here's the story, quite long and I'll try to make it short.

Yesterday 8/8/2023, a friend of mine call me asking if I can meet him, urgent he said. So we meet up at a place, then he ask me to borrow him RM3000. I ask him why? He told me the whole story about he borrow RM3000 from Ah Long via online, no paper work no signature no black and white. I ask again how can he be so careless, agreeing to this kind of crazy deals. Now my friend here aren't an alcoholic, a gambler, or addicted to any negative stuffs. He know it's a stupid idea but he needs money that time, found out about this loan online and go ahead with it. Within 30 days, he must pay off the RM3000 in lum sum, simple to said borrow RM3000 but must pay back RM3000 within 30 days. So yesterday at 8/8/2023, is the due date. I helped him sold his computers, ipad and some other gadgets. We collected about RM2000+ because we sell these items dirt cheap, instantly got call and PM from various buyers. He manage to borrow few hundreds from his friends to make it RM3000.

Now here's the most fucked up part, by logic before 12am, the date will still remains 8/8. So he still have couple of hours to pay up the RM3000 right? Nope, the Ah Long literally said this "If follow market, other people charge interest RM1000 per hour.". I don't want to share the chat between him and the Ah Long here because he's already in miserable state, but that's the message he showed me. That text is before 12am, the date still 8/8 but to the Ah Long it's times up. They ask him to pay another RM4000 even after he paid the RM3000 before 12am 8/8 because of his "late payment", so it's RM3000 + RM4000 = RM7000 to them. You see, to this Ah Long, after 12am or no, they still charge you late interest because they feel you late to pay them back. All this in whatsapp and I ask him to screenshot all the chat as the Ah Long later might delete it, and if that happened he might get into trouble as he got no evidence against the Ah Long. Yes I know, our law aren't so good against Ah Long but I still ask him to do so just in case. After that I told him don't pay the RM4000, go to PPIM and tell them what happened. He paid on the last day of the 30 days, yet because the Ah Long feels like he's late to pay and they simply ask him to pay another RM4000. I think now he already in PPIM office, hope they can figure something out.

You guys might have question,
- What he did with the RM3000? He don't want to tell me but he assure me that the RM3000 aren't for those bad things, I know him for so long, so I believe him.
- Why he never ask his family, friends or company for help? He said he did, but non of them able to help that day before he go to Ah Long.
- Did I borrow money to him yesterday? No I didn't because I also needed money as I will be buying another car soon. But I did help him get around RM2000+ by helping him selling off his computer and gadgets.

This thread is to raise awareness, if you guys have any Ah Long stories, feel free to share it here so that others know how fucked up these Ah Long are in reality.

UPDATE 9/8
He went to PPIM, they help him checked with the company they claim they're from and surprise, the company said they do not have any record from my friend at all. PPIM said 2 possibility, 1 is this person are playing ah long, meaning they just some scammers pretending ah long plus all these usual threats. 2 this person could be the old school type of ah long, yes they do have the man power and they will causing trouble like throwing red paint etc. PPIM advise him to file a police report which he did afterwards, in the mean time PPIM try to contact the ah long but they never answer the phone call. In the police station, an inspector was assigned to assist him. Inspector advise him to change his phone number and deactivate his social media for a time being, until everything as cool down. Yes the inspector also try to contact the ah long and same, not answering the phone while he still receiving threats via whatsapp. Worse parts is that the ah long get to his mom, I don't know what his parents will do to him but I do know his parents won't go easy on him. He even told me he's ready if the family disown him over this, man this sure is fucked up. For now the inspector inform him to stay alert for any suspicious individual in his place, call the police if someone ever came to harass him. The inspector also said they're now tracking down the caller and found the caller aren't in KL/Selangor, also tracking down the bank account owner. I sure hope the police will get to them so that my friend and some other poor victim no longer have to worry about these bastards harassing them, imagine sleeping with one open and looking over your shoulder every time you going out.

Be careful when you first meet them, they smile at you, so friendly.

I understand your pov but even during pandemic, banks were raking in money. Even now they are raking in money. And not everyone who goes to loan sharks do so for online gambling. Like one poster above said, micro financing went down the drain when the banks were consolidated. This problem, i apportion some blame to banks for being assholes

Not going into why borrow from ah long, its beyond that.
Borrow 3k pay back 3k too good to be true. even friend also charge interest.
Ah long needs to make money,.
You are dealing with lawless people, no documentation, they would surely open high (+4k interest), maybe should try to negotiate. 2k down.
And why count down the clock till last minute to repay, you are dealing with ah long and should have bufferred.
End of day, your friend has opened a door way, Ah long see this as opportunity, and will come up with whatever stories to make him keep paying. The more you pay Ah long will see him capable of getting more . Good luck to him.

boro 3k.. but receive 2.4k only.. 600 is typical admin fee for along liao... and the interest calculation is going to bite him for life since its ah long..

Of course they have to bring in money, if they don't bring in money the institution collapses and will be worse for everyone who has money kept in that bank.

The fact they can survive is due to their risk management, which is why microloans is not favored. The risk is high and the return is low, no reason for banks to put themselves in such a dangerous position.

If your credit is good, its easy to get low interest rate loans because your risk to the bank is low. I can easily get 2.9% interest rate from ambank via quickcash, so technically a micro-loan. Used it before, approval is only 2-3 days too.

Sell of his car you said, ok then how do you expect he going to work? Bicycle? All the way from Puchong to Shah Alam section 15? Take grab? How long you think he'll last by taking grab from his house to workplace? Or buy a kapcai? You might said below 2k can get a used bike, well he don't know how to ride a bike and don't have a bike license. You expect him to take bike license then fork out an amount of money for the license? What next? Rent a house nearby his workplace?

This is my last warning to you, seriously stop with your "bad person" attitude. You have a choice, instead you use "someone has to be a bad person for another to grow" as an excuse that it is ok to be an asshole. He already in miserable state, he needs help not just financial also his emotion.

I used to not have a car

Take bus change twice. Also 2 hrs go to destination and 2 hrs back. Once super heavy rain. Took 4 hrs. That's the price to pay but still better depend on ah long.

Agree. Can sell off car when needed.

Banks are in the biz of making money from reliable borrowers. Not someone who has major issue paying up. I would not put my money on banks that does that.

Remember, they can collapse if majority borrowers dun pay back.

If you dare, arrange with Michael Chong or someone to go see the loanshark and tell them that you already paid on that day itself. If they really desperate, pay rm500 and just end it.

Stop harassing anymore and forget it.

No news from him, I would ask him to contact Michael Chong when he contact me. Right now I don’t know what happened, based on his current state I don’t want to drive to his house. Who knows what waiting for me there, policeman might mistaken me as ah long or probably ah long mistaken me as his relative or whatever.

Want to add some story of mine, not me but friend who borrow ah long.

Pinjam RM10000, agreed with interest of like 6% if paid by 25th this month.

Friend paid on 20th full RM10k and message him, Ah long on 28th say he only  "saw" the message so consider he paid late, so interest become 20%.

So did your friend comply?

But I wonder why Police don't catch those illegal money borrower, seems so easy.

1. Call the number in those ad.
2. Arrange meeting to make loan.
3. As soon money is transferred from Ah Long to undercover cop customer. Make arrest or as Bank Negara to freeze account if the account/person is not legal money lender.

That's a great idea, but we nev know if they really using this method to catch them. I mean it does sound simple, but looking at youtube videos from various NGO who stands against ah long, I heard some ah long now never even come out and meet their victim. They all seems only deal in phone, not sure what case my friend is. By dealing only with phone, police and the NGO cannot get to them unless they caught those who been throwing red paint.

Don’t pay for 6 years, they can’t do anything to you.

In fact you can try to negotiate to pay like only 20% of total owe

However your credit score for past 6 years basically gone down the drain

I'm going to chuck this as them being lazy. All it takes is some high level meetings, maybe with a minister in it, and then you will get there gears going on.

If bank refuse to cooperate, then BNM can take action.

But well you know, there's always that one or two minister or VIP that will go against such plan, even when publicly there's nothing bad about such plan. But somehow those plan wil affect them.

Not entirely, based on those videos from semboyan, ppim, mustafa khan, some victims paid more than they owed yet still get harassed. For them, at least these ngo can help them negotiate the amount to the lowest then warned the ah long to stop contacting the victims again. I don’t know how many people know about these ngo, hope no one will go borrow money from ah along.

Won’t disagree that face to face indeed can settle but better ask these ngo to come along, these ah long set the rule all by themselves. One video from mustafa khan where he allegedly told the ah long that they only agreed to pay this certain amount, if not then there be a fight between him and the ah long. Dude literally challenge ah long for a fight, kind of entertaining though seeing these ah long rethink again, that moment where they no longer in charge.

The problem with many of us is that we define certain things through very narrow lenses. “DAP” = “chauvinist”, “PAS” = “Taliban”.

That’s usually overly simplistic and grossly inaccurate.

Similarly, “Help” as you’ve offered it to your friend was definite by many as “needing to lend him your own money”, whereas a more refined solution would be to offer help in other ways that aim to achieve a favourable outcome for your friend, while minimising the potential of harm to yourself.

Well done, my friend.

Why so sohai pinjam rm3000. U can get it from any bank for personal loan. Nowadays bank also lower their bar to ah long level, they give out personal loan like nobody business but they charge insane interest also. At least bank won't use red paint or threaten you or family member. They just blacklist u from future loans.

TS your friend so weird. Usually ppl go ah long cos desperate due to addictions and stuff. But u insist he never have those kind of tendency then why he go take the rm3000? For extra pocket money? That's just so stupid pinjam duit on a whim.

The problem with many of us is that we define certain things through very narrow lenses. “DAP” = “chauvinist”, “PAS” = “Taliban”.

That’s usually overly simplistic and grossly inaccurate.

Similarly, “Help” as you’ve offered it to your friend was definite by many as “needing to lend him your own money”, whereas a more refined solution would be to offer help in other ways that aim to achieve a favourable outcome for your friend, while minimising the potential of harm to yourself.

Well done, my friend.

Keep positive ok? The world would be a better place if most people have a mature mindset like you, you have my respect.

Why so sohai pinjam rm3000. U can get it from any bank for personal loan. Nowadays bank also lower their bar to ah long level, they give out personal loan like nobody business but they charge insane interest also. At least bank won't use red paint or threaten you or family member. They just blacklist u from future loans.

TS your friend so weird. Usually ppl go ah long cos desperate due to addictions and stuff. But u insist he never have those kind of tendency then why he go take the rm3000? For extra pocket money? That's just so stupid pinjam duit on a whim.

What you want me to beat my friend until he tell me the truth why he borrowed RM3000 from ah long is it? You there already know only desperate people go find ah long, then why still asking "Why not go borrow from bank?". Apa la

Everyone keep saying Don't Borrow from Ah Long. So how people want to differentiate between Ah Long or not?

There's few more about this video also, another way is that you go and talk to them. See how much their interest rate is, got black and white or no etc.

Nothing, he just gone total silent. Social media still not active, he changed his phone number. But I did give him my card though, yet still no news from him. I didn't go to his house also, not sure what's waiting there. Maybe police or ah long, I don't think it's a good idea driving through his house since I don't live there.

Just shows what kind of friend he thinks you are
Never even bother contacting you after you helped him so much.
Unless he really lost your phone number, I really suggest you just defriend him.

I won't jump to that conclusion yet, because so far I only know he do that because he have to. I also checking around social media, no post about him, at least it didn't show up anything when type his profile name. If I defriend him without knowing what's going on, that's a dumb move. Give him some time, if he contact me again then ok, else then pandai2 jaga diri la bro.

You’re a good man bro. A lesser friend would have jumped to conclusions (and perhaps live to regret them later).

That's up to him, I did what I can as a friend. If one he come contact me again, I'll still greet him. Borrow money? Sorry, can't do...

I'm an IT guy, can't just jump to conclusion without finding the root cause. This field taught me a lot and it became a habit though, analyse first then figure out a permanent solution. Hence, you understand that it is immature to just defriend an unfortunate friend without finding out a logical reason to do so.
