This study will focus on the extent to which the legal issues of the practice of friendly loans in Malaysia and whether the provisions of current laws and policies can protect the interests of both lenders and recipients of friendly loans. This study is qualitative in nature and involves library research. The results of this study will look at aspects of legal issues in order to protect the interests of both lenders and recipients of friendly loans.
