Naivete and peer pressure lead to bankruptcy


PETALING JAYA: Sabrina Abdul­lah (not her real name) was 27 and only wanted to help her father when she agreed to become a guarantor for a car loan a few years ago.

She was earning merely about RM1,900 per month as a salesgirl at a shopping mall. When her father stopped paying the car instalments, she ended up in hot water – she had to fork out more than RM1,000 per month.
