Ng Swee Keng (age 41) one of the pig farm traders said that the person, Along had cheated her almost RM80,000.00 and the cheque given to her is not useable and it is either payment stopped or that account had closed. She lodged a police report after she realize that something was wrong when she unable to contact Along. She added that usually she sell the pigs first then only receive the payment.
“Before that in 2010, there is another dealer who buys from me had run away and now it happen again. Usually we sold the pigs and then only we get the money after a week or a fortnight later. I had gone to his house to find him but only his wife was there and said that she is unable to do anything because his husband had run away and if they want, they can sold the pig farm to her and then she will pay back them slowly. Yesterday (December 9 2012) I received a call from him saying that he will pays me back the amount little by little. What I am puzzled is that, if he does not has money, why he could buy pigs at Penang in cash. In addition, others traders does not want to bring up this issue legally because they worry that they could not get the remainder payment form him” she said. “My family needs the money for survivor” she added.
Lim Wei Jien (age 18) another party whose his father (age 43) had been cheated by Along with the total of RM350,000.00. “My whole family needs the money for living and this is affecting my sister who wishes to further their studies” he said. He hopes that Along could shows empathy on them.
Lim Yong Han (age 27) said that during the time he went to Along house to collect the remainder debt, only Along’s wife was there and she say that she unable to do anything as her husband had run away and also talk to him in a stern tone. After he leaves Along's house, an Indian guy phone him requesting to see him and urged Lim not to go to Along's house again. Lim too had lodged a report to police due to this in order to avoid any unpleasant event happen to him and his family and he finds his lawyers for advice on this matter. Lim also added that Along act aggressively and another victim had be surrounded by people two time due to demanding Along to pay the remainder debt. “I do not agree that he is acting in such way and I prefer we take legal action in settling this matter” he said.
Allan Liew : Traders who had been cheated by Along should put on their brave front to voice out this matter and fight for their own justice
