Loan Sharks

My ex-neighbour's (they moved out to who knows where) parents (I think) owed some loan sharks money and quite apparently couldn't pay up.
But then the parents gave the loan sharks my neighbour's address instead (bastards). A few months ago the lackeys started to knock on my neighbours' door and paint-splatter (basically throw paint) all over their door.
And then they installed a surveillance camera, reported to the police, blah blah blah, and moved out a couple of months ago. I thought the whole ordeal was over.

A little while back, the loan sharks called my house. How the freakin heck did the bastards get my home number????

My father picked up and boy was he unhappy. Apparently, from what I could hear from the one-sided conversation, they wanted US to pressure our ex-neighbours to pay up.

Um... Hello, not our problem! We are not your lackeys, thank you very much.
My mother was like "what if they spray our house next?!"
I'm warning ya, you stupid sharks. You don't mess with a JC student. I could very well study law in uni and SUE YOUR ASSES OFF.

Ahhhh, wishful thinking. But I am serious. Think of the possibilities of a youth.

Anyway, the loan sharks have become a serious problem in Singapore, especially ever since the stupid casinos opened up.
Last year, the gov collected $195 million just from casino entry levies and $9 million was spent on addiction rehabilitation. That's 1,950,000 local entries into the casino, and there are only 3.2 million Singaporean citizens in total, including BABIES and CHILDREN (though excluding PRs -not sure if they have to pay entry fee). Many, many addiction cases have popped up in my church alone. And we are such a small church.
Gambling is a damn serious problem.

And so are loan sharks.

Now my mama won't let me answer the house phone.

Just in case you're wondering why I suddenly know so many facts... It was my GP exam this morning. x_x
