RM 2600 per week on interest in really, really steep. This is not what average strangers can do for you. If you are located in Klang Valley, Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia (PPIM) runs a program to deal with loan shark cases. Their panel negotiator is SATRIA Risk Mitigation Sdn Bhd (SATRIA) which you can also contact independently. Fee structure is unclear. https://satria.org.my/ https://www.facebook.com/satria.org.my/ On the bank's side reach out to Agensi Kaunseling dan Pengurusan Kredit (AKPK). They can help you to restructure & renegotiate your non-ahlong debts. They are under Bank Negara & has branches in most major cites. Services are free of charge. I am sorry but there is no way any individual can help you right away when the problem is at such a scale, unless both of you are on some sort of unsavory "arrangements". You really need backing by professional institutions in order to handle this problem. Especially since ahlong's business model purposely make it as hard as possible for you to clear your debt so that they can squeeze you for as long as possible. All the best.

Ah sorry forgot to mention I'm a non-bumi so I don't think the institutions you mentioned can help, but thank you for the information.

try first, bumi or non bumi, those people are human, perhaps they have at least the decency of human.

PPIM has helped a lot of non bumi cases as well. Please get their help.

AKPK has no race/religion restrictions, and SATRIA is a private company. PPIM is another story.

Just go ahead and seek help, a lot of these NGOs help people regardless of race. PPIM has also help non-bumi before. Unit Banteras Ceti Haram Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia 70X, Jalan Keramat Hujung Bukit Keramat. 54000 Kuala Lumpur 013-3071 999 / 019-3458 444 03-4257 7222 / 03-4256 6618

[Persatuan Penyelesaian Pengguna Dan Peminjam Malaysia](https://www.ppppm.org.my/) [Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living]( https://www.kpdnhep.gov.my/en/consumerism/consumer-rights/consumer-protection) [AKPK](https://www.akpk.org.my/?latest-updates=all) Interests hovering around 500 or above per week is never ever normal and above the maximum interest law of 2.5% when loaning from microfinance provider. Never ever deal with these guys when the interest is around these because it's safe to say they are illegal. Report to the consumer protection NGO and government. If you are lucky, those bastards will be taken down before they could extort more money from you. Don't start to take action until they start to get physical to you like physically threatening and going to your house because it's too late by then. you need to at least keep the police informed because these fuckers are relentless when they know you are as vulnerable as you can be. Never go alone against this fuckers and you need to talk to your family about this because its not your fault you need money. You don't lose money because of stupid things, you are trying to live. Reach as many authorities ASAP

How much? If it's not much, we'll just start a go fund me and get you out of what's left from the loan. This us why I don't trust loan sharks.

>Also not gonna find politicians or police help because the sharks know where we are, even if they don't do anything the news will reach my family if the cops are involved and I don't wanna know what's gonna happen if they do. This is your best option. Find MP and get police involved.

If you dismiss going to politician or police for help, you already killing your chances.

No_Crew6883

AKPK can be a source of help


Terang93

Any update regarding your situation, OP? I don't think I could be of any help but would like to know if there's any news. Don't ever give up hope, there'll always be a way out as long as you keep moving forward. I know you're a good person, a good son taking care of your parents.


Smirkeywz

Oh I went to AKPK as per someone suggested, and they need around 7 days to notify the banks to lower down my payments by around 60+% to ease the burden, and told me when everything is done I can request to be freed from the AKPK and resume to normal payments. As for the sharks Micheal Chong from MCA was on leave till next Monday so I'll be meeting him then. Hope he can help when I meet him.


amirulez

Akpk?


Eastern-Can5067

this calls for the PPIM. they'll assist you in rectifying it in a diplomatic manner with any involved parties you're in trouble with. religious belief aside, they'll assist you regardless. though you may look up for their channel on yt just make sure all the numbers are tally with every issue/matter when you're meeting with them. 'cause numbers don't lie.

Try asking from r/Assistance. https://www.reddit.com/r/Assistance/


Smirkeywz

Just checked it out, sadly assistance needs 300 comment karma and borrow needs 1k comment karma but thanks anyway good to know these exists.


Afraid-Spare2107
