Moral of the story
Happy times, save. You never know when you need 3k.
Not enough money to save? Work harder. Living in Malaysia you cannot be poor, everywhere is opportunity. Even Bangla buys land house shop in their home country doing 3R work. As a Malaysian, surely there's a way to make money legally.
This is really an avoidable case.

QUOTE(teslaman @ Aug 10 2023, 02:10 AM) Tell him to withdraw from credit card lo I'm sure ts doesn't know the full story. Friend hush hush but wants help. Very rare for even fam members or relatives not to help, he surely has messed up a lot even before this happened. Also to the rest who is financially ok. Never be a white knight. People will beg you as if you're their only hope. Truth is. Once money reaches their hand. They'll forget about your kindness and good deeds. You end up having to beg them. Aka don't fight other people's battle, kindness doesn't work that wayGuard your money well. In general it also means be wise in your spending so you don't need to deal with ah long one day.

QUOTE(Napalm_man @ Aug 10 2023, 09:14 AM) That's why I help him selling off his computer and gadget, I can give him the RM3000 but since he cannot guarantee me to pay it by this month, so I won't risk it because I need that money to buy car. Yes. You did the right thing in how you helped him. Well done 🙂

QUOTE(NoSheep @ Aug 10 2023, 10:42 AM) For these amount, I believe there's few apps now that can get the loan approved easily. Which the pools of $$ came from other apps user. Not worth to get disturbed and threatened by Ah Long for RM3k. Borrow 3k already such a nightmare, can you imagine borrow 30k? Hell breaks loose. Always have savings!

QUOTE(king99 @ Aug 12 2023, 11:58 PM) Want to add some story of mine, not me but friend who borrow ah long. Pinjam RM10000, agreed with interest of like 6% if paid by 25th this month. Friend paid on 20th full RM10k and message him, Ah long on 28th say he only "saw" the message so consider he paid late, so interest become 20%. scammers and illegal lenders don't know what kindness is. Be careful when you first meet them, they smile at you, so friendly. Once fall into their trap, you are DEAD. Always have savings for emergency times.

QUOTE(Napalm_man @ Aug 14 2023, 01:49 PM) I'll explain to you before report you again for being so disrespectful and a FUCKING BITCH you are. He don't have a CC and yes he know he can withdraw from CC. How do I know he don't have a CC? He told me he don't have CC, you expect me to grab his wallet or call bank and check if he's lying? No I won't, he already in serious trouble. Sell of his car you said, ok then how do you expect he going to work? Bicycle? All the way from Puchong to Shah Alam section 15? Take grab? How long you think he'll last by taking grab from his house to workplace? Or buy a kapcai? You might said below 2k can get a used bike, well he don't know how to ride a bike and don't have a bike license. You expect him to take bike license then fork out an amount of money for the license? What next? Rent a house nearby his workplace? This is my last warning to you, seriously stop with your "bad person" attitude. You have a choice, instead you use "someone has to be a bad person for another to grow" as an excuse that it is ok to be an asshole. He already in miserable state, he needs help not just financial also his emotion. I used to not have a car Take bus change twice. Also 2 hrs go to destination and 2 hrs back. Once super heavy rain. Took 4 hrs. That's the price to pay but still better depend on ah long. Agree. Can sell off car when needed.

QUOTE(Napalm_man @ Aug 14 2023, 02:11 PM) I don't know if got bus travel between his house and workplace, and how long if there's a bus. For your case, 2 hours go and 2 hours back, can't complain if you don't have much choice and bus are you only transport. We all hope he is doing ok You've done your part as his friend. He needs to buck up. Wacky - I read everything you wrote. I agree. This post has been edited by gashout: Aug 14 2023, 02:57 PM
