Extortion , Protection Money (in Cantonese "POW CHEONG"

EXTORTION IS THE ACT OF SECURING MONEY , FAVOURS & ETC BY INTIMIDATION OR VOILENCE , BLACKMAIL ; BY LAW EXTORTION IS THE CRIME OF OBTAINING MONEY OR SOME OTHER THINGS OF VALUE BY THE ABUSE OF ONES PROPERTY OR AUTHORITY.

I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR FROM MY RELATIVES THAT THEY WERE EXTORTED & ASSAULTED BY GANGSTER WHILE THEY WERE RENOVATING THEIR HOUSE IN KEPONG RECENTLY.A GROUP LED BY CHINESE ("POW CHEONG LOU" IN CANTONESE") WERE TERRORISING THEIR HOUSING ESTATE DEMANDING FOR PROTECTION MONEY OR POW MONEY APPROXIMATELY ABOUT 25% OF RENOVATION COST FROM CONTRACTORS , ONE TIME LUMP SUM AMOUNT FROM PROPERTY OWNERS & EVEN REAL ESTATE AGENTS CANT GET AWAY FROM THIS.

WHEN REFUSE TO PAY , THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE WILL HARRAST YOU , EVEN TO THE EXTEND THAT THEY WILL LOCK YOUR MAIN GATE AND EVEN WORST WHEN MY RELATIVE MADE A POLICE REPORT , A GROUP OF INDIANS CAME TO THE HOUSE & STARTED ATTACKING MY RELATIVE , THEY WERE BADLY INJURED & SUFFERED LOSSES ON THEIR PROPERTY. PERSONALLY , MY HOUSE WAS BREAK IN TWICE IN 18MONTHS LOSSES RM 30K , I WAS PICKED POCKET IN MONORAIL TRAIN , BUKIT BINTANG STATION & LOSSES RM 2K , WAS ROBBED MANY OCCASION WHEN I WAS DRIVING OUTSTATION & FELL ASLEEP IN MY CAR , MY I PHONE WAS SNATCHED BY MOTOCYCLIST BEFORE CNY 2011 CAUSING ME TO FELL DOWN ON TAR ROAD . I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS POLICE REPORTS , BUT SOON I ASKED MYSELF "WHY AM I ALWAYS RUNNING INTO SUCH A BAD LUCK OR JUST COINCIDENCE". AFTER ANALYSING , FOUND OUT INFACT I WAS CARELESS & LEFT LOTS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM :(

NOW THAT MY PROPERTY(CONDOMINIUM) SOME WHERE IN THAT AREA WHICH WILL BE HAND OVER BY DEVELOPER IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS TIME , I BEGAN TO HAVE NIGHTMARE!!

HOW ARE WE GOING TO DEAL WITH THIS "EXTORION" ISSUES , IS IT BY GOING TO THE AUTHORITY , POLICE OR just pay them.....
