JOHOR BARU: A senior operation executive is in trouble with 23 Ah Longs, or illegal moneylenders, after he borrowed money to fund his side business of selling clothes and towels at a pasar malam (night market) here.

The 40-year-old man, who only wanted to be known as Ahmad, said he borrowed RM2,000 from an Ah Long in August last year as he needed the cash to pay off his suppliers as his business was not going well.
