Malaysian YouTuber Yang Bao Bei (杨宝贝) has been laying low ever since she came clean about her gambling addictions and scams. She hasn’t been hiding from the world, however. On the contrary, the YouTuber has been working hard to repay her victims and those she has wronged.
Unfortunately, recent events have only proven that things haven’t been forgotten, nor forgiven. Yesterday (29th December), YBB revealed she and her sister had been jumped and beaten up by some men. Although the men didn’t indicate their reason for the attack, YBB is certain they wanted revenge.
To give credit to the YouTuber, she’s been persistently working to repay all her debts. However, it hasn’t gone as smoothly as she would have liked. Netizens thought she was falling back to her old ways when someone accused her of pulling an iPhone fraud in September. The YouTuber was quick to clear that up, but clearly, there are people who are still dissatisfied with her. YBB shared that she’s still been receiving threats and intimidation. Unfortunately, her family and friends have also been targeted.
YBB’s post yesterday shocked many when she announced she and her sister had gotten beat up. It had been enough to send them to the hospital. According to the YouTuber, they’d gotten jumped by two unknown men when they went back to YBB’s old home to pick up her car. In addition to punching them in the face, they also kicked the sisters in the abdomen. “My sister and I are just small, thin women with no power, why did (you) have to be so (harsh)?” she lamented.
The YouTuber added that the men had taken the cash they had on them, a few hundred ringgit, and left. Someone had helped them get to a hospital for treatment and they gave their statements to the police. Although the girls are fine, they are still traumatised by the incident. “(We) need to rest at home for a few days,” YBB admitted.
YBB is frustrated by the incident, especially since her sister had also borne the punishment with her. “As for the master behind the scenes, a person should be responsible for their own actions, not a misfortune to relatives and friends,” she stated, addressing the men. “I’m paying you back every month, please stop harassing and hurting those around me!”
The YouTuber made it clear that she isn’t running from her problems. “If I wanted to escape, I would have left Malaysia long ago,” she stated. “We chose to face my problems one by one and solve them one by one.” YBB emphasized that she is taking responsibility for her actions and is trying to make up for her mistakes.
Although YBB has been making amends, netizens aren’t very sympathetic. Some have voiced their concerns and wished the sisters a speedy recovery. However, there are others who claim it was well deserved. “(If) stealing IC doesn’t (land you) in jail, beating someone up should (have the same consequences),” one comment read, referring to an old allegation of YBB stealing her friend’s IC. Another netizen wrote: “Pity your sister, (should) just hit you. Why beat your sister? She is innocent, but you are not.”
It seems YBB’s mistakes will stay with her for a long time, no matter how much she tries to fix things. Hopefully the comments don’t discourage the YouTuber. For now, we wish her and her sister well and hope they get better soon.
