KUALA LUMPUR: A 33-year-old woman has been hounded and harassed by her ex-boyfriend who is demanding for RM20,000 as compensation during the time that they were together.
The clerk, who only wants to be known as Tan, said she was constantly disturbed by the businessman, Liew, who she met in 2013.
She claimed that he has been harassing her since September last year.
The intimidation, Tan said, prompted her to lodge a report at the Ampang police station.
It is understood that the sum the businessman is demanding for include expenses and a loan he had given her during their three-year relationship.
Tan said she in now married after she broke off with the businessman in 2016.
“I started to date him in 2013, but only knew that he already married seven months later. But we continue the relationship then.
“I made the decision to sever the relationship in 2016. But my ex-boyfriend persisted and said he wanted to get back with me despite my numerous rejections. We even had a fight in which I sustained injuries on my arm.
“Then last September, he started to pester me, asking me to repay the RM20,000 he spent on me,” she said in a press conference at Wisma MCA recently.
Tan added that Liew also threatened to tarnish her name online and harass her family.
Meanwhile, MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Seri Michael Chong said he has received 11 cases of couple asking for post-break up compensation since 2016.
