A deceased man's family from Kepong, Malaysia is pleading with loan sharks to stop tormenting them for their late son’s debt of a mere $300. Distressing footage shows a loan shark approaching the family’s house, placing a note on a gate, then lighting and throwing a Molotov cocktail at the building and walking away. The family says their son, He Wen Jie, told them about the debt in Dec. 2024 while he was working in Singapore. The family started receiving threatening calls from loan sharks, demanding payment and claiming their son would soon jump to his death. After attempting several times to contact their son with no luck, they finally received news from a Malaysian funeral home that indeed their son had jumped off a building and died in a hospital.
