PETALING JAYA: Pay back your National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) loans because a debt is a debt, according to feedback.Copywriter Myra Tan Lee Lee, 27, said the PTPTN already emphasised many times that borrowers could discuss with them to pay back as little as RM50 a month.

She said the Income Contingent Loan Repayment system, a method used in Australia, Hungary and Thailand, should be implemented locally.

On Thursday, PTPTN deputy chief executive Mastura Mohd Khalid said the repayment on the principal alone ranged from RM3bil to RM6bil a year, while the interest borne by the government was more than RM1.7bil a year. A loan borrower who wanted to be known as Natasha Nair, 27, said borrowers should be more considerate and think of how defaulting on their loan would affect future borrowers.

You have to pay although in small amount. Make choices but pay the loan first

The mismanagement of loan defaulters by allowing non-payment and lack of action has seen a crazy, ballooning figure. Take action now to reduce this debt or the future generations will have no access to this benefit. And BN with PH is responsible! 'Poor students still around,yo!“

What is 2 million hardworking taxpayers paying for ? Educating them to be jobless by choice, dishonest and irresponsible ? twitptptn

Use your own money to loan them then SyedSaddiq Then how are you going to manage the untenable model. Do away with it or make tax payers pay for it. Should have blacklisted them long time ago. Without any extreme measures, those people would not pay up. For sure!!

Syed Saddiq rejects any travel ban on PTPTN loan defaultersThe youth and sports minister says other ways must be found to ease PTPTN's burden and problems faced by graduates earning low incomes. No money to pay loan, yet still got money to travel. WTF 😂 No need to give excuses. Must ensure those who owe money to pay up. Let’s do it in a sensible way. Work out a repayment program with those owing money through deduction from the salary like taxes. They are in good jobs + earning money because of their education on borrowed money.
