He reported the matter to the company management who terminated the stockist's licence in August.


“Two months later, a group of gangsters beat up one of my subordinates and extorted RM15,000 from me. "

“On Nov 10, a group of men stormed into my house and smashed everything, including the windows, furniture and home appliances.


“My house is in a mess now with shattered glass everywhere,'' he said.


Fearing for his life and the lives of his family members, Wong flew his wife and children to Kota Kinabalu. Together they came Kuala Lumpur.


A friend, who picked them up at the KL International Airport described the family's situation as “devastating and dreadful”.


“It was horrible to see them wearing pyjamas and slippers, with several boxes around them at the arrival hall,'' said the friend, Simon Yew.
