    Eh ... maybe no need to pay back??

    Actually, ever got one agent tried to persuade me to consider loan from a local bank (prob his palm got greased by his bank officer fren lah) ... his reason: Local Banks r more stable .... thot if u put deposits then u need to worry rite?!?!!


    U asking this izit becoz of the reported low int rate offered by some unknown ah-neh bank huh?

    Well, I think if the bank goes bankrpt, its creditors will force it to liquidate. Most likely the bank will be chewed up and its remaining pieces will be bought up by others. So your loan will just be transferred to the new financial institute.

    the loan books of a dead bank is still an asset.

    it will be sold off to the highest bidder and your legal obligation will be towards the new slave-master.
