A woman has lodged several police reports after her friend allegedly stole her identity card (IC) details to borrow money illegally. This reportedly led to loan sharks harassing her old neighbour and her husband's music school. Zhuo, 59, said Lan was one of her husband's students at his music school in Jurong West. «I've known her for more than four years, and we would often get together to sing,» she told Shin Min Daily News. «Ms Lan once bought health products from me and said she'd help me sign up as a member.

I never expected her to use it to borrow money illegally.» Zhuo moved to a new house in 2021, but she found out that her former neighbour was allegedly harassed by loan sharks the following year. She soon discovered that the 58-year-old Lan was behind the alleged loans. «My neighbour negotiated with the loan sharks for over a month,» Zhuo said. «The loan sharks added the 'borrower' to a chat group.
