Debt collection in Malaysia gets a fresh start with new industry body

There’s a new name in the Malaysian debt collection scene: the Association of Professional Debt Collection Agency Malaysia, or APDCAM for short. The group was recently launched to bring together professionals in the field and set some clear standards around how debt recovery should be handled.

Rather than just collecting money, the idea is to focus on proper training, fair conduct, and making the whole process more transparent for everyone involved. It’s a move that could help the industry earn back a bit of trust.
