PUTRAJAYA: Repaying National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) loans through the Income Contingent Loan (ICL) option is a practical move that would not burden borrowers, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The Prime Minister said ICL, among several methods proposed by the National Review Committee on the National Higher Education Policy, will involve monthly salary deductions through the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN).
