Oh Why, Oh Why do you have to come back with him?

JOHOR BARU: A mother is finding it hard to forgive her daughter’s boyfriend although his family paid more than RM30,000 to secure her release from loan sharks.

Ooi Ah Jeow, 50, still held the boyfriend responsible for the mess her daughter, Teng Yee Lee, had gotten herself into.

Teng had gone gambling with her boyfriend, Chong Tze Kim, 30, and is believed to have incurred heavy losses after gambling there.

They were said to have borrowed money and the ah longs had taken two family cars as collateral.

“One of Chong’s parents then went to Kuala Lumpur to negotiate for the safe return of Teng and the release of the two cars by paying more than RM30,000,” said Johor Baru MCA Public Complaints Bureau deputy chief Michael Tay.

The 27-year-old was brought back to her home in Taman Tun Aminah here by Tay.

Ooi said she was relieved to have Teng back but she found it hard to forgive Chong.

On Jan 19, Teng had asked for the car keys on the pretext of servicing the vehicles for a trip to Penang.

Her mother later discovered that Teng had left home with the two vehicles and Chong.

Ahhh.. Ah long, ah long, ah long.. The story of the great money lender continues..

However, this story has some 'ambiguities' in it. The report says that it "is believed they have incurred heavy losses after gambling". Yeah, it is 'believed' that the world was created after the oh so majestic "Big Bang" and it is believed that I was raised by apes.  And also, the report saysthey were "said to have borrowed money and the ah longs had taken two cars as collateral". It is said too that Neil Armstrong ate durian on the moon and it is also said that there is Big Foot on a backpack holiday on Mars. "One of Chong's parents then went to Kuala Lumpur". One of my parents went to a women's conference and one of my parents went to the men's bathroom. Come on, don't know which one? Confidential maybe.

"She found it hard to forgive Chong". Poor dude, all the blame on him. Understood though. Own children are always innocent. Especially daughters.

However the last line of the report "Teng had left home with the two vehicles and Chong". I don't know, but it made me thought for a while that the daughter was the culprit here. Chong misdemenour was 'somehow' Teng's fault. "The robber escaped with RM1,000 in cash and a laptop" or "Husband had left home with Rm10,000 and a car".

But actually dear readers, the whole point of this news piece is not about the Ah Longs or the mess the two got into. Nobody cares about illegal loan sharks anymore. The title of the report says so :

Daughter's back at home but mum finds it hard to forgive

What's with today's news ? Oh, and you may stop laughing.
