| description | The objective of this research is to analyse on how the law on licensing moneylending activities works by comparing Malaysian law to the law in the United Kingdom and Singapore. The number of illegal moneylender's problem keeps rising. This indicates that there must be something wrong with the law. This project paper shall cover Malaysia Moneylenders Act 1951 as amended in 2003, the Singapore Moneylenders Act 2008 Singapore and Consumer Credit Act 2006 of the United Kingdom. In this research, qualitative research methodology was utilized in this study, where two in-depth interviews have been conducted with the Ministry of Housing and Local Development and the other one with Malaysian Licensing Moneylenders Association (MILMA).
