KUALA LUMPUR, April 14 — Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng has called for swift police action after a petrol bomb attack in Kepong Baru allegedly linked to a Singapore-based loan shark syndicate.
In a statement today, Lim said a female victim had come forward with a complaint, claiming her previously rented home was targeted in an apparent act of criminal intimidation.
According to Lim, the attacker — who he said is believed to be a local runner for the loan shark — recorded the attack and sent the video to the victim, threatening continued harassment every day if she failed to settle her debt.
“This is not merely a threat — it is a serious crime that endangers public safety and undermines the rule of law,” he said.
Lim said that the victim has lodged a police report and urged authorities to take “swift and decisive action” to apprehend the perpetrator.
“Kuala Lumpur must not become a playground for gangsters or cross-border loan shark syndicates,” he added.
