A dispute at home with family members can be common, but not when it tarnishes one’s image. Malaysian singer Ben Ladin recently had no choice but to lodge a police report against his father.
The decision came after his parents used his name in their scamming activities, resulting in the disturbance from the scam victims who looked for Ben Ladin himself.
In a series of Instagram stories recently, Ben expressed his frustration with the situation, stating that he received calls and messages from the victims demanding their money back almost every day. In one of the posts, Ben also shared a picture of his father, Munshi Shaihan, who went viral for fraud issues.
Ben also claimed his father “clever manipulator” who would come up with stories as long as he could scam the victims. His father even forged Ben’s signature on multiple documents.
“I’m tired of clearing my name for the things that I did not do, but you did.”
Ben Ladin also revealed that his father had once made up a story asking for a deferment of debt payments because he was still in the process of suing his daughter-in-law (Bin Ladin’s wife).
“Where is my money? Where is my grandfather’s money? Where is the money which you said you wanted for a Raya project? Where is the money of the victims?” Ben questioned.
Ben said he didn’t want to publish his family’s dirty laundry and admitted that it was too much for him. However, he decided to lodge a police report as he deemed their actions “unacceptable.” In one of the stories, Ben urged his father to stop and surrender himself, as well as pay back the victims. Ben himself also apologised to the victims as he could not pay them their money back.
“Stop playing victim. Please, mum and dad, pay the victims. You are my parents, but a mistake is still a mistake,” Ben said.
