SUPP Public Complaints Bureau (SPCB) Chief and SUPP Candidate for DUN Kota Sentosa, Wilfred Yap was recently approached by a single mother for assistance to negotiate on her behalf in respect of a debt/loan that her son had obtained.
SPCB Chief, Wilfred Yap is currently assisting the single mother in finding out the actual situation and negotiating for an amicable settlement of the matter.
SUPP Public Complaints Bureau would like to advice the public of the existence of National Credit Counselling and Debt Management Agency or more commonly known as Agensi Kaunseling dan Pengurusan Kredit (AKPK). AKPK was set up by our Government under Bank Negara’s umbrella to help people in debt or facing financial problems.
Many Sarawakians still do not know of the existence of AKPK and continue to suffer mentally and emotionally every time collection agencies appointed by financial institutions come to harass them.
SUPP Public Complaints Bureau would like to advice anyone who have debt servicing problems with financial institutions to go to AKPK for assistance as it is free of charge, legal and staffed with experienced officers who will act on their problem.
People with financial problems are also advised not to resort to money lenders for a short term solution to their problems.
The office of AKPK in Kuching is situated in Bangunan Bank Negara Malaysia, Jalan Satok, 93720 Kuching and their telephone contact is 082-414910.
SUPP Public Complaints Bureau is always ready to lend a helping hand to the anyone facing problems or who come across problems of public interest but does not know how to deal with it. Anyone requiring assistance can always call SUPP Public Complaint’s mobile number at 016-7797688 or 082-246999 or go direct to SUPP Head Office to request for assistance.
