Plans to ease the burden


Help on the horizon: A total of 3,604 individuals were declared bankrupt between January and July this year. Proposed amendments to the insolvency laws will give bankrupts a helping hand.

PETALING JAYA: Insolvency laws will be amended soon to give bankrupts some leeway to get back on their feet, says Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.
