Singaporean loan sharks were allegedly the masterminds behind a blaze that scorched four homes in Bukit Indah, Malaysia, Iskandar Puteri MP Liew Chin Tong said in a Facebook post on Sunday (May 10).<\/p>\n
Liew, who is also Malaysia’s Deputy Minister of Finance, shared the loan sharks purportedly attacked a targeted home at Bukit Indah in Iskandar Puteri twice – the first took place last Friday, and the second a day later on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Visiting the site on Sunday, Liew wrote that the attack was carried out by “Ah Long terrorists” utilising a petrol bomb.<\/p>\n
“The mastermind behind the crime is believed to be the Ah Long Singaporean syndicate,” he claimed.<\/p>\n
“The petrol bomb is believed to be targeted at a house but the fire has spread to three neighbouring homes.”<\/p>\n
In photographs of the homes uploaded with his post, the fire appears to have caused significant damage to the garage of one of the homes, with the garage roof torched through.<\/p>\n
Two cars and one bike parked in the garage were also completely burnt – the cars in particular only had their chassis remaining, with one even lacking its entire bonnet.<\/p>\n
The house on the left also saw similar damage, with the garage roof similarly burnt through, leaving only scaffolding.<\/p>\n
Visible through the gaps in the scorched metal gates, a car parked in the garage has also sustained significant damage due to the blaze, possibly only retaining its chassis like the others.<\/p>\n
Liew stated that Bukit Indah police acted quickly to carry out investigations as soon as a report was lodged, also increasing patrol frequency in the area.<\/p>\n
He further expressed support for the locals who stepped up safety measures, and added that welfare assistance will be provided to those affected.\u00a0<\/p>\n
