the web of loan sharks

 

The web of loan sharks

It spreads to most establishments

As long as people need urgent cash

The Ah Longs will flourish


There are no complicated rules

There are no unnecessary forms to fill

As long as the persons can afford to pay back

When the runners do some background checks


Even the police ranks and files

They too borrow from the loan sharks

This is heard from the grapevine

This is why Ah Longs can survive


Because the banks are like a big time miser

They want to squeeze as much as they can

The pages of forms to be filled and guarantors

When the borrowers can't pay, bankruptcy will begin


But the loan sharks will send their tough guys

Whack the borrowers, damage their reputation

The houses get red paint to shame them

Even close relatives will be threatened


The web of loan sharks

Even police can't find the big boys

It is only the runners will be caught

The layers of control the big boys win


Don't borrow from loan sharks

It may be tempting with easy application

But once you fail to pay back

The physical pain and emotional stress
