If you had fun with 'The Beekeeper', 'A Working Man' is essentially that, only slightly worse.
PUTRAJAYA: The rising trend of people declaring themselves bankrupt is a concern as it shows many are struggling with severe financial difficulties, says the Insolvency Department director-general Datuk M. Bakri Abd Majid .
"We're seeing a rise in individuals declaring bankruptcy because they feel that they cannot repay their debts. "With a Debtor's Petition, an individual can apply for a court order to declare bankruptcy without any minimum debt threshold. They simply need to complete the required documents and pay a deposit.
"I'm concerned that some individuals may take advantage of the system. They could file a Debtor's Petition, declare bankruptcy, and then, knowing they can be discharged within three years by making minimal payments, use the Second Chance Policy to clear their status," he said.
