Robert's Google+



All the horror news about PTPTN personally sending enforcement officers knocking your door soliciting payment is an old story.


There are enough headline about PTPTN on major newspapers notably Thestar and New Straits Times. Magnifying the issue of borrowers never pay a single cent back after graduation. Here is one of the example of PTPTN borrowers gradually paying it student loan back so that in the future some may still get loan for higher education in Malaysia.


Personal perception on PTPTN fund would be "student loan for the bad grade student". The fund actually help bad grade student get back on feet again explore the tough job environment out there.


Not just the bad grade student unable to score prestigious scholarship landing a class at one of the state-of-the-art university, the poor are one of the criteria who will utilizing the PTPTN fund to further their studies.


The whole point is a direction showing that only the capable of scoring prestigious scholarship the good grade student get education for free.


The real question is can we the borrowers get more time to pay rather than the limited time frame ?
