FAMILY THREATENED: Alleged blackmailer has nude photos of businessman

A BUSINESSMAN who broke off his relationship with his Chinese mistress after more than a year is in big trouble.

The woman had demanded RM50,000 as a "break-up fee" and when he refused, she sent his wife nude pictures of him. His marriage is now on the rocks, but the woman is still blackmailing him, threatening to post the pictures on the Internet if he does not give her the RM50,000.

The businessman, who wanted to be known as Chin, said he met the 24-year-old woman in Jiangxi while he was on a business trip in 2011. Giving the woman's name as Chen, he said they began a relationship that lasted for more than a year.

Last month, said 43-year-old Chin, he decided to end the affair but the woman demanded money. Wearing a cap, sunglasses and a surgical mask during a press conference, Chin said he refused to pay.

Several days ago, Chen sent nude pictures of Chin to his wife and brother. She also threatened to come after him and his family if he did not pay her.

"Now, my wife wants a divorce."

Chin said he was aware that his former mistress had taken nude pictures and videos of him but "she had promised to delete them" from her phone.

Fearing for his family's safety, the father of four said he lodged a report at the Dang Wangi police headquarters on Saturday.

He also sought the assistance of MCA Public Service and Complaints Department head Datuk Seri Michael Chong. Chong said the department had received seven such cases this year. Last year, he said, there had been nine cases.

"In such cases, I would advise the victim to not pay the break-up fee as that would not be the end of it. The perpetrator will continue demanding for more money." Chong said it was best to just ignore the demands.

The New Paper
Monday, Aug 12, 2013

MALAYSIA - A businessman's jilted lover sent nude photographs of him to his wife because he refused to pay her RM50,000 (S$20,000). The man, 43, who only wants to be known as Mr Chin, said he broke up with the Chinese woman from Jiangxi, China, last month after she flew to Malaysia to look for him.

Said Mr Chin: "My wife has not forgiven me and she says she wants a divorce."

He approached the Malaysian Chinese Association's (MCA) Public Services and Complaints Department for help in solving the matter earlier this week. His wife, with whom he has four children, received the photos via MMS from a foreign number.

Break-up fee

Mr Chin said that the woman, known only as Ms Chen, 24, had asked for the money as a "break-up and settlement fee".

He said he had been in a relationship with her since 2011, when he started making business trips to China, The Star reported.

He also said he knew that she had taken photos and video clips on her mobile phone last year, but thought she had deleted them.

MCA's Michael Chong said he had seen seven such cases this year and most of the victims had relationships with Chinese nationals.

He advised the victims not to pay the blackmail amount.

He said he recorded seven such cases this year and nine last year, involving nude photographs and blackmail threats, observing that most of the victims had engaged in relationships with individuals from China.

He said women would normally get blackmailed into paying for the men's livelihood, while men normally fell victim when they went on overseas business trips. "Blackmail is disastrous because the amount asked will be in the thousands. Some are also very smart, they don't want ringgit but US dollars. "I always advise victims that they should never pay the blackmail sum. Once you start, you will end up paying till you die," he said, stressing that suicide was also not the answer.

Mr Chong said victims must instead "fight back and deal with it" even though the truth might cause families to break up.
