‘Troubled times ahead for PTPTN’

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: Statistics show that the National Higher Educa­tion Fund Corporation (PTPTN) will not be able to sustainably provide loans in the future given its current financial scenario, says the corporation’s Public Con­sultation Independent Advisory Panel.

This means that students keen on applying for PTPTN loans in the future may need to turn to other scholarship funds, said the panel’s chairman Sheikh Shah­ruddin Sheikh Salim.
