Lorry driver in debt fears for his family


JOHOR BARU: Desperate to pay for his daughter’s college fees in Russia and keep his business afloat, a 58-year-old lorry driver ended up borrowing some RM22,000 and is now struggling to pay off the increasing debts.

The former businessman, who wanted to be known only as Sam, landed in more trouble when the moneylender he first borrowed from recommended taking another loan from a different Ah Long to pay for his interest.
