JOHOR BARU: A taxi driver is now afraid to leave his house even for medical follow-ups after he came home from a 10-month hospital stay recently to find no one at home but a trail of debts supposedly left behind by his son.

The 63-year-old, who only wanted to be known as Khoo, went home after undergoing treatments and a surgery involving his large intestine in October last year.
