Loan Sharks Lurk in Plain Sight for Desperate Delivery Riders A recent crackdown on cross border loan shark syndicates has highlighted a disturbing trend: Malaysian delivery riders are being lured into debt and exploitation by promises of easy, high paying work.
The phenomenon is driven by shrinking payouts on official delivery platforms, leaving many riders struggling to make ends meet.
Haris Fadillah Arsyad, chairman of Persatuan Perpaduan Rakan Penghantar Malaysia, points out that these riders are an easy target for loan sharks who exploit their desperation with promises of quick cash.
