M'sian former 'gambling king' drives Grab to make ends meet after falling into S$314,000 debt
His income is just enough to cover his daily expenses.
A former Malaysian gambling influencer, known as "Genting's little queen," has revealed he is now a ride-hailing driver after amassing RM1 million (S$314,000) in debt. Aaron Lim, 48, began working for Grab eight months ago using a friend's car, as the low fares in Malaysia left him unable to save any money. He typically drives between 1pm and 11pm, earning up to RM200 (S$63) per day.
After covering his expenses, Lim has little left over to live on, forcing him to take sleeping pills for over a year. His gambling days, where he would spend lavishly, are now behind him as he starts anew, grateful for simple meals at a reduced price.
