MALAYSIANS TAKING LOANS TO JOIN ISIS?
Some Malaysians have gone to the extent of taking personal
loans from banks and moneylenders in order to join the Islamic State of Iraq
and Syria (Isis) in the Middle East.The South China Morning Post quoted Malaysian counter-terrorism officials as saying the loans were taken to fund passage and living expenses in Syria and Iraq.
"At least two women have taken personal loans to pay
for their passage to Syria to join Isis and also to fund their living expenses there,"
the official told SCMP."One woman took a RM20,000 personal loan from RHB Bank while the other borrowed RM6,000 from a licensed moneylender."
SCMP reported that the emerging trend comes after an Isis cell leader in Malaysia urged followers to apply for the loans in order to help them join the fight in the Middle East.
Despite numerous Isis supporters and sympathizers being
arrested by police, Malaysians have not been discouraged from attempting to join
up with Isis. To date, at least 59 Malaysians are officially known to have
joined Isis.More than 65 have been arrested by police either on their way to Syria and Iraq or on their way back since the start of last year.
Malaysia, according to Isis supporters, is an infidel state
as it maintains a secular constitution.
