IPOH: A technician in Bercham fears for his family's safety after a car in the porch of his house was set on fire.

Believing it to be the act of loan sharks targeting his nephew, Leong Khet Loong, 63, said the family was worried that the perpetrators would return and commit further harmful acts.Ah long strikes the wrong target"We hope the police will catch the person responsible for setting fire to my wife's car as soon as possible," he told a press conference held by Bercham assemblyman Ong Boon Piow at Lorong Bercham 9.

"I found a note in my mailbox that was addressed to my nephew, so I believe he is the one the perpetrators are looking for. "This house is our ancestral home and he used to stay here, but his family moved out about 10 years ago," he said."We are also unsure whether or not he borrowed from loan sharks," he added."My wife and I were awoken by our neighbour's shouts of fire and smoke."We ran downstairs and put out the fire before it got out of control," he said, adding that the back of his wife's car was badly damaged.
