JOHOR BARU: A 29-year-old single mother who wanted to borrow RM8,000 from a moneylender ended up losing RM24,000 in 10 days instead.
The victim, who only wanted to be known as Peng, said she needed the money urgently to pay off her housing loan and utility bills amounting to some RM3,500 after her tenant ran off in May, leaving her with the debt.
