Thumbs up for MARA chairman’s quest to recoup nearly RM1m loan from actress who defaulted
IT is pleasing to the eyes to know that the Bumiputera community no longer take government loans for granted, contrary to the general perception that they would treat such loans as something that they deserve, hence would hardly comply with the payback terms.
Or would they defend or seek forgiveness on the loan defaulters’ behalf by alluding to the “our kind” or “kasi chance sama Melayu” cliché.
A testament to such welcomed “no mercy” mentality is when social media influencer Roman Akramovich (@SyedAkramin) called on Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) to investigate which officer was responsible in approving the almost RM1 mil loan to veteran actress Rozita Che Wan a.k.a. Che Ta who has since defaulted on the loan.
“I wish to know what’s Che Ta’s advantages till it’s such a child’s play for her to borrow that much,” penned the Madani government backer.
Siasat juga lah siapa pegawai MARA yang luluskan pinjaman RM1 juta kepada Che Ta. Nak tahu apa kelebihan Che Ta sampai senang-senang boleh pinjam banyak itu.
Interestingly, Roman Akramovich passed his comment after having re-posted another post by fellow influencer Bbie.(@twtbiy) who teased Che Ta for failing to repay her loan but “able to throw a birthday bash for her son”.
For context, mainstream New Straits Times has reported that MARA is currently pursuing its bankruptcy proceedings against Che Ta, 51, and her eldest son Ammar Effendy, 28, after they failed to repay a loan of RM960,000 mil since 2017.
The loan amounting to RM960,000 was issued to Rozita’s company, RCW Worldwide Sdn Bhd, with both Che Ta and her son serving as guarantors. MARA had initially issued a bankruptcy notice to the duo in July last year.
Regarding the recent raid at Che Ta’s house in Kota Damansara, Selangor, MARA chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said the exercise was conducted based on the address listed in the agreement signed with MARA.
Among the items seized from the home of the former air stewardess prior and beauty queen who bagged the Miss Malaysia Intercontinental 1992 title on Tuesday (Dec 9) were a car, furniture, shoes and various household goods. Authorities are now awaiting a court date to schedule the auction of these assets.
Beyond that, Che Ta’s almost RM1 mil unpaid loan sum has set tongues wagging among netizens with one wondering “why do rich people such as artists need loans which ironically are easily approved”.
One commenter preached “don’t get into debts” by sharing his almost bankrupt personal experience which took him a dozen years to settle “through rigorous belt tightening (ikat perut)”.
Another fumed as to how the Alor Setar-born actress could secure a close to RM1 mil loan from MARA when “it was a mountain for him to climb to even obtain a RM10k loan from banks”.
Finally, one commenter wanted to know which of Asyraf Wajdi’s predecessors between Tan Sri Annuar Musa who was the MARA chairman till Aug 31, 2017 and Datuk Seri Awang Adek Hussin had approved Che Ta’s loan.
“When was the loan approved? This is somehow similar to the dUCk (FashionValet) scandal, Well, dUCk has been sued. When is this case going to heard in court?” – Dec 13, 2024
