Each time friends want to borrow money. I declined. Not worth the hassle.
Seeing them living lavishly and flaunted their so-called wealth & travel pics on socmeds and suddenly want to borrow money? Lol F-off. |

If you got proved like a black and white statement or a screenshot of the transaction of the money, just make a police report, lets the police deal with him 🙂

Bro, you can consider Small Claim Court. Filing fee is rm20. Max you can claim back is rm5000. It is cheaper than civil case where lawyer fee will eat up all the money. You need to have his address and IC number though. buraqdunia liked this post

QUOTE(buraqdunia @ Apr 20 2026, 01:09 PM) I think it should be fine if it is 2 separate rm5k loans under 2 separate agreements.If rm10k is under one loan and you wish to split into 2 cases, then court is likely to reject. Best check with the Court itself. This post has been edited by staind: Apr 20 2026, 02:23 PM |

THis is something new to me, can file a case with the Small Claims court to reclaim borrowed funds where there is no signed contract between borrower and lender! Filing fee is rm20. Max you can claim back is rm5000. It is cheaper than civil case where lawyer fee will eat up all the money. You need to have his address and IC number though. Anyway I presume this will only work if there is some evidence such as transfer of funds via online banking and histroy in whatsapp messages which show the lending of money. If the 'transaction' is via cash without any sort of evidence (Whatsapp messages), then it won't work. |

If the 'transaction' is via cash without any sort of evidence (Whatsapp messages), then it won't work. Small claim court is only applicable to individual and not against business ya. I filed a claim recently against an individual. My Court hearing will be in June. The strange thing is that I met 2 individual who were filing their case against business owner. Supposingly, this procedure is only for individual but yet Court accepted their cases against business entity. I wonder if their case will be thrown out on the first day. In Civil case, the Court’s judgement is based on “balance of probability”. This means Court will consider a claim is likely to be true if Plaintiff has evidence that can convince his case ie proof more than 50%. Criminal case is of much higher standards ie “beyond reasonable doubt” which require the Prosecutor to be almost certain. So, it is likely that the judgement will still side plaintiff when there is trace of evidence that proof loan was indeed being given. Form Google AI: What Can Be Claimed? Debts and Loans: Unpaid personal loans, informal loans to friends/family, or money owed by individuals. Breach of Contract: Disputes arising from agreements where the value does not exceed RM5,000. Landlord and Tenant Disputes: Unpaid rent or refund of deposit. Service Disputes: Unpaid invoices for services rendered (e.g., renovation, photography). Property/Motor Vehicle Disputes: Cost of repairs for minor accidents or damage to personal belongings. Key Requirements & Limitations Amount: The claim amount cannot exceed RM5,000. Plaintiff: Only individuals can file; businesses/companies usually cannot use this procedure to file claims. Legal Representation: No lawyers allowed; both parties represent themselves. Time Limit: Filing must be done within 6 years of the incident. This post has been edited by staind: Apr 20 2026, 03:31 PM |

Legal Representation: No lawyers allowed; both parties represent themselves. Time Limit: Filing must be done within 6 years of the incident. Anyway, separate matter on all this borrowing and lending. This is the way I look at things, my opinion. There are many types of borrowers who attempt to seek financial assistance from friends for various reasons. The amount also varies. To me, one manages his own life and financial. To seek financial assistance from somebody else shows incompetence unless one is genuinely in a dire state, people who don't have much in savings and need money to sustain life, the basic necessities such as food, clothing etc. In this sense, it's not so much about borrowing money as the individuals will not be able to return. It may be donation from elsewhere. Many reasons of borrowing, to start up a business, business failure requiring funds to salvage, sending kids to university etc. As mentioned earlier, one manages his own finances. If business and a large sum, one can borrow from banks. If for more personal reasons, if one doesn't have the money, either don't do it although some people have a bad habit of borrowing money to pursue his/her goals. As I have mentioned earlier in this thread, people have borrowed money from me when I was younger though it's just a small sum in the range of RM100 to ~500. In all those instances I would expect them to return the money, and all of them did fully return the money although one only returned partially until I left the company. In all these instances they are colleagues in the same company, not really close friends. Just colleagues in a lower hierarchy of job scope. Fortunately I don't have any friends who asked for money. Even if they did ask, I would likely reject if it's a big sum, knowing the risk of not getting the money back. As mentioned earlier, in my book people who borrow money do not reflect well on themselves. As I've predicted, some or most who have borrowed are dishonest, or to put it mildly, good for nothing individuals as the it was later found that the 'friend' who borrowed the money was away for holiday(Italy, France? There were more genuine cases of people who are borrowing. Genuine people who really need the money. It was a long time ago, 50 years ago or longer, one of our relatives are quite poor and do not have much to send one of the children to a local university. My dad and other relatives pooled our resources and provided the funds. I'm not sure if they returned but we didn't expect them to return and treated it as a donation.

Well, there are always people that do not have intention to repay their loan from the beginning. I rejected a few requests in my life and also loaned out some. Like many pointed out, it is non recoverable especially to relatives. There was also cases where it took forever to payback and causes a lot of mental anguish to me. jimbet1337 liked this post
