KUALA LUMPUR: An elderly couple have disowned their son for habitually running up debts with loan sharks.

Dang Aik Ching, 73, said he and his wife have already paid RM300,000 to loan sharks to settle the debts of their son, Dang Chum Hau, 44.

But the son keeps on borrowing money and raking up more debts.

The elderly parents shared their despair at the MCA public services and complaints department in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday (Nov 8).

“These loan sharks have harassed me and my wife constantly and we are afraid to even go to sleep at night," said the senior Dang.

“We have disowned our son and have no more savings to pay these loan sharks,” he declared, urging them to stop disturbing his family.
