JOHOR BARU: Two women have decided to cut ties with their sons for raking in thousands of ringgit in debts after borrowing from loan sharks in two separate cases.



The mothers — Ting Su Ung, 45, and See Moi Ping, 47 — said that their sons have caused a lot of heartache, pain and embarrassment to the families.



The two women appealed to the loan sharks to leave them and their families alone and not harass them.



See had her house in Nusa Idaman splashed with red paint while Ting had her home in Kangkar Pulai broken into and vandalised.



The loan sharks even used Ting's family pictures and put them up on the Internet and social media, offering a reward for information on their whereabouts.



The women then sought the help of MCA Public Complaints Bureau chairman Datuk Jason Teoh.



Teoh said that the number of loan shark cases were on the rise and involved school children and teenagers.



"Most of them go to loan sharks due to their gambling habits," he added
