Just like money in general Debt is not always a bad thing, it only become bad if you are not using it properly. You are taking news from Indonesia and the people mentioned in those news were taking loan from Illegal finance service company. People preferred illegal loan because it lacks background check, but behind those easy loan the interest is brutal.
In my opinion the correct to take a loan, is to deposit money regularly every months into back account, then applied for credit card, there are a lot of credit card that offer 0% interest, just small service fee and processing fee. If someone doesn't even have money to be deposited in the bank, then I don't think they should buy anything the can't afford.

You may be right, although as far as i am concerned it is much better to get into an investment than into a debt, one will get you out of trouble over time and the other will only bring you more worries than you possibly already have, so studying the panorama from all perspectives, that is, both legal and illegal, the conclusion i opt for, like many people who have commented, is to avoid it at all costs and be aware so as not to have to fall for lenders of any kind. However, i would like to emphasize mainly those that are handled without the authority to execute these movements, since i characterize it as the worst of both cases, since requesting a loan from these entities, whether physical or online, is one of the biggest mistakes that a person can make, the number of scams and the problems that they can get into can go beyond the circumstances that made them make that decision, since normally individuals who work as lenders illegally are usually ruthless and tend to involve their victims by raising exaggerated interest so that they can never finish canceling said debt, turning it into an infinite commitment that transcends generations... a fact that i consider unfortunate for those who had nothing to do with it.
