How much can foreigners borrow under the amendments to the Moneylenders Act?
I am a foreigner working and residing in Singapore. There are times when i need to borrow money to make ends meet. Money is hard to earn and it is difficult to avoid borrowing money with my current line of work. Now that there are amendments to the Moneylenders Act, I want to know how much money can foreigners borrow.
