Malaysians relieved new PTPTN repayment scheme on hold, says consulting stakeholders crucial

Bank Negara deputy governor Adnan Zaylani Mohamad Zahid said CCRIS contains information on overdue payments and is not a system aimed at blacklisting loan applicants.

PETALING JAYA: Many Malaysians are relieved that the government has decided to put the controversial new repayment scheme for National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) borrowers on hold.

However, they said on social media that the government should have thought the idea through before making the announcement over the Income-Contingent Loan Repayment scheme.
